Reminiscing at Peach Tree

We “discovered” Fredericksburg two years ago. From spending weekend get-aways, we eventually bought our dream vacation home. It’s but natural that we soon had our own “spots”. Peach Tree Restaurant was  our spot when we were house-hunting. We would drive from Houston at the break of dawn, meet with our realtor, Darlene, then house-hunt all day long and break for lunch before 2pm (this joint closes at 2 on the dot!). This went on for God knows how long till we found our Chateau d’Napoli or what fondly call now as Vivi (short for villa). Yes, we name our pets, houses, cars, watches, jewelry,  and all things meaningful and precious to us. The Beast (house in Sienna Plantation, because of its size, cost,  and everything related to it that is almost always beastly) and Vivi, French villa in FBG. Our cars, Gigi, Turbey and Caddie.

Anyhoo….I digress…We had brunch here after a 4-hour drive from Houston. As always, we enjoyed every morsel.

When we were house-hunting, I always needed one (or two!) of this awesome sangria. Mortgage crunching takes a lot from me

There's always room fro dessert. Specially if its bread pudding with rum and bourbon sauce. Bread, rum, bourbon---what's not to like. Oh, note the ceramic cow holding the creamer. That's D's creative genius, making it look like it's tasting the coffee.

Everyone looks so much more relaxed after a second glass of sangria...

It’s been two years and we love each and every visit. I guess because we are creatures of comfort. And we find comfort in all that is familiar and nice. Like I said before, there are so many of these places in Fredericksburg that I would feature once in awhile (ok, actually a whole damn lot!). Should fortune favor you and you find yourself in this part of Texas, I am sure you would fall in love with it too.
