ReplyDeleteThe Johnson City Courthouse is spectacular! Make the time to do it, Llano, Marble Falls, Lampassas and San Saba, it can be done in one evening -we've done it. Make it a family event, complete with Christmas music, homemade goodies packed with thermos' of cocoa and hot coffee! Then do Bastrop, Smithville from Austin it is an easy and wonderful trip. Bastrop and Smithville have some wonderful old homes that are decorated to true southern style. You also get whimsy with themed decorations through out the neighborhoods of both cities. Not to leave anyone out you can't beat hospitality in Schulenburg and Weimar. German traditions, friendly faces and warm greetings can't be beat! You get the best of a coastal Christmas with touring some beautiful homes in Bay City!
