THE SMITHS: Some March Travels...

Near the beginning of the month we drove to Houston to meet the newest little smith... Miss Avonlea Jane!

This also happened to be Mister G.'s first trip down...Daisy on the other hand is a veteran at it!

Mister G. with his little friend...

When we arrived at the Smith household it was the normal craziness that it has grown accustom to lately... Stu and I were able to visit with Stephen, Star, and Stu's Dad, Gene. We also met sweet little Avonlea who slept pretty much the whole time that we were there... Stu and I played a little bit with Maddie, Jackson and Hope... Daisy ran around the yard... and Mister G. terrorized their dog and tiger, the kitty.

We of course did what Smiths do...drink lots of coffee in the middle of the day...

Precious little sweetheart...

That was our quick trip....there are more pictures here.

Next....

This is my last semester of college...and that means that this was my last spring break... I didn't really do much other than school work... I had decided that it was more important to me to get a head start on some of my projects that will close out the semester...better then a complete breakdown from the stress of completing them with little time to spare later... but we did take a little time out of the school work to enjoy some down time...

We headed to Fredericksburg for the afternoon...

My sweet husband...

Our first stop was at Becker Vineyards. There we tasted a couple new wines from their last harvest...sadly I was a little disappointed with the whole experience...too many people and not relaxing at all... so the next stop was the Fredericksbrug Brewery... We have always looked for the brewery but always failed... that is until now. We both had a cold beer and chatted, and because we are both people watchers, observed our neigbors...

Next stop....amazing!
