Ah, fall. Picking pumpkins, sipping coffee, and perusing quaint small towns decked out in scarecrows and hay bales. When I think about this time of year, there’s no place in Texas that comes to mind as strongly as Fredericksburg. It’s basically the epitome of charming, so that combined with the plethora of activities going on there this month, there’s no town I’d rather spend my October in.
Fredericksburg is the ideal town to spend a fall day in.
