Today we started in Gruene, TX which is just down the road from where we were staying. Once a month, the town hall (Gruene Hall, Texas' Oldest Dance Hall) in Gruene has a Gossip Brunch and we were fortunate enough to be coming on that one Sunday in March and Mathis & Nicki were on the ball enough to get us all tickets before they sold out.
I completely understand why this sells out so quickly! This was so much fun. Every aspect of it they were on top of it. The location was so much fun, the wait staff was on top of it, the food was so great (I ate WAY too much), and the music and talk was awesome!
We caught our blessing and what felt like no time, it was all over and it was time to go about our day. Gruene is an awesome little town so we spent some time checking out the antique shop & general store.
Today we tried to get our first cupcake in Gruene at Gruene Flour Cupcakery but cupcakes and Sunday's don't agree and even though the sign said "OPEN". They definitely were not.
But we weren't going to let that keep us down. There were other places ready for us to explore. In typical Castro fashion, Mathis & Nicki took us to The World's Largest Gas Station, Buc-ee's. I know that it sounds ridiculous but we could have spent so much time in there! It was so fun! It had everything but my favorite had to be the little beaver mascot. He was just so cute!
We had a big day coming up heading to explore Austin so we took the rest of the afternoon off, that we were all suffering from a food coma from the amazing brunch so we huge out for a little while at the house watching movies and swapping stories. We tend to always be running in everything we do so it was so nice to just hang out and relax for a while.
That evening, we headed out for dinner and live music. So we headed back down to downtown Gruene and checked out Adobe Verde. We hung out for a while just snacking on chips and listening to live music by Fallon Franklin. She was great! We even ended up buying her cd on the way out. Dinner was great on the atmosphere of the restaurant was so fun.
NEXT UP: Austin
