Run for the hills: Many choices for those needing sip of Hill Country

When the landscape changes Texas dull its winter coat in the dusty roads of many colors, the scenic beauty of Texas Hill Country calls.

Mother Nature and Lady Bird Johnson Project's Highway Beautification should be thanked for wildfire our annual state of color along the roads of Texas.

My first trip to the Hill Country has been with the Yahoos, "a sisterhood of four seasoned advertising professionals who want to escape our busy lifestyles. We traveled together quarterly for weekend outings with one rule: Leave no agenda whatsoever.

To determine the destination, small strips of paper with the north, south, east and west went into a hat. We took turns planning our adventures, and the spring of 2005, it was my turn to play the travel agent. "South" was all I had to continue.

Planning a Texas Hill Country adventure can be a challenge, given the number of housing options and meal in one of the tourist destinations of the high state. I found myself completely spoiled for choice, but one place stands out above all the rest: Ross Head Burtwell Cabernet Grill and Cotton Gin Village Fredericksburg.
