Fredericksburg Inn & Suites

Disclaimer: The Fredericksburg Inn & Suites provide a complimentary two-night stay in exchange for sharing my experience with readers. As always, 100% of opinions, photos and content are my own.

On a rainy Wednesday evening, we arrived in Fredericksburg, Texas. We checked into the Fredericksburg Inn & Suites, right off Main Street in downtown, amazed at how close it was to the center of it all. Tired after a long drive from Fort Worth, we were ready to relax and get comfortable. Upon entering our room, I would’ve sworn this room was just for me!

If you know me, you know I love rustic charm, barns, Luckenbach (it was on our list while in town) and live music. Upon entering the room, low and behold the first thing I noticed was the Luckenbach decor on the walls, exhibiting some local flavor. Next, the barn doors separating the living room, bathroom and bedroom. Ah – it was just for me!

The room itself (one of ten suites on the property) was in the courtyard area with a view of the heated pool, hot tub and lush landscaping. Inside, I met my relaxation! The living area includes a large couch which pulls out into a bed (perfect for the kids or a couple friends), a TV, fridge, coffeemaker and microwave.

The bathroom was large and elegant. Perfect for privacy separating the shower and sink areas.

The bedroom housed a king size bed and another TV with many, many pillows (again – this room was made for me). As soon as we arrived and saw the room, I thought, we’ve got to come back – two days won’t be long enough!

Now, it rained the entire two days we were in Fredericksburg but honestly, we were in the perfect place. Complimentary breakfasts in the morning not only saved us money and time but it saved us from being in the rain and it was tasty! Texas shaped waffles, pancakes, muffins, scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal, yogurt and juices were all available. That’s one heck of a bargain especially if traveling with family (and saves money to purchase your favorite wine or item while visiting town). And don’t tell anyone, but I found delicious, warm chocolate chip cookies in the lobby one afternoon.

Outside, the heated pool and hot tub were well occupied even if it was raining. A firepit, open stone gazebo, grill and lots of room next to Barons Creek to relax, have a picnic and even play a game of washers. It’s really a great place for anyone when traveling, rain or shine.

The Fredericksburg Inn & Suites is also a historical landmark. The original home on the property is now the kitchen and dining area for breakfast. The interior holds the same walls and flooring and historical documents can be found throughout. It’s really interesting to see and feel what the space use to be like back when and how it remains in tact today. A little bit of Fredericksburg history and charm!

We absolutely loved our time at the Fredericksburg Inn & Suites and cannot wait to go back. We didn’t want to leave and felt completely relaxed in our home away from home. This is a place which we would highly recommend to families, couples and even single travelers. The location, accommodations, activities and price are all just right!

DFW Auto Show 2016 – Your Adventure Awaits!

Eight years ago this week, I packed up my car and moved to Texas. It was right about now, I was traveling somewhere between Vermont and Texas hoping that my car would make it with no problems and the weather would stay clear. After I moved, those wheels kept on turning and traveling became a much larger pastime in my life. My car was getting older and so was the mileage. The envy of a new car was on the horizon and in 2012 my dreams became a reality.

Over time I knew what kind of features that I was looking for – roomier, long-lasting, sporty, durable, something that I can fit my bike into and a vehicle that I could safely take on my travels for a long, long time! Who is with me? I wanted to hit the road with no worries ALL day and see as much as I could whenever I could. Over the last few years, I’ve done just that and couldn’t imagine my life without a set of wheels of my own!

This year DFW Auto Show attendees can find the perfect car to fit their needs. With a long list of manufacturers in attendance, everyone is bound to find something that they will fall in love with! With over a half a million square feet of space to view and check out cars, trucks and SUV’s – THIS is the place to dream and shop! Maybe it’s something you never in a million years imagined you wanted or it could even be to see the new upgrades on a vehicle that you currently own!

One of the opportunities available at this years event is the Ride and Drive event. Kia will be participating to the public during the DFW Auto Show’s public days. They will have the full line of models available to for test drives; you can try out a new car with no sales pressure! (Isn’t that the best way?) Kia is known as a “more for the money” brand; the company’s strategy is to give its customers a lot of value (read= luxury, quality and style) for the money. Last year they created James Bond-type ads for the new Sorento. They also introduced a completely redesigned Sedona minivan which is great for the family and those road trips we’re all planning! Summer travel is right around the corner!

What’s on your vehicle wish list and where would you go in your new ride?!

The DFW Auto Show is open from March 16-20 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas. For more information please visit the 2016 DFW Auto Show website.
