Patrica and I didn’t really want to get out of bed but we forced ourselves to shower and get ready for our pretty jam packed day.

We headed to Numinous Coffee Roasters for a morning caffeine fix.

She got a normal coffee and a Danish and I opted for a latte. I brought along some Bailey’s to pour into and it was perfect.

We started our twenty minute drive to Opie’s BBQ in Spicewood, Texas.

They had a plethora of meats for you to view and choose from!

We got the fatty brisket, jalapeno sausage, green beans, spicy creamed corn and tater tot casserole. The pinto beans and butter beans were free along with the condiments.

We had a hard time deciding what to try first! I obviously went with the green beans and she with the brisket.

My favourite was the jalapeno sausage. The casing was just right! I love eating the insides ad then the casing last so it was perfect! Everything else was too salty and I feel bloated now.

We headed to Spicewood Vineyard afterward.

They have these cute barrel chairs and I made Patricia model in them.

We decided and shared the Estate Grown Tasting Menu that came with seven different tastings. Also … Why is my eye so funky? Haha

I wanted to get a good shot with the Grapevines in the back but if you can tell, the rock the glass is on is darker because I spilled a bit of my wine when I tried to balance it. Fail.

I found a cute little stream that did better for my glass balancing.

We relaxed, listening to the stream flow and the wind blow while catching Pokemons and battling at the gym. I won!

As we were leaving we saw cows in the middle of the road so I jumped out and took some pictures. I’ve never seen cow poop until today and man are they HUGE!

We drove back to Marble Falls and went on Main Street for some shopping.

Patricia got a gelato while I did some souvenir shopping. Ghost pepper pickles for Dad, uncured bacon jam for BIL, pumpkin and turtle and owl decoration for Mum, and a little Rizzo for myself.

We bumped into a percussion instrument playground! I wonder if anyone ever actually comes and makes music together.

We made a stop at Bear King Brewery Co since I haven’t been to a brewery in a long time and it was on my list of places to take him at the time.

They had some IPAs on the board but I decided on ones I’d love more. The heffenwizen is my favourite over the porter which I was very surprised about. Since I didn’t have a significant other to help share, I had to force myself to down them all even though I was full to the brim!

We headed back to the hotel to relax a bit where I watched an episode of Westworld. Our hotel is near the lake which is nice but we weren’t lucky to have a room with a view.

Soon enough we were out the door to Rae’s Bar & Grill to meet up with Patricia’s friend, Nancy.

Patricia and I both got steaks and shared a side of Mac and cheese while Nancy ordered a burger. I’ve been craving steak so it was perfect!

We are currently sitting at Rae’s still listening to people sing karaoke. There are actually a lot of people here so I guess it’s the thing to do on a Saturday night here.
