After graduating college my best friend and I did a road trip around Texas and Fredericksburg/Enchanted Rock was our first stop! :D so many great memories!
Fun!!! It’s a great stop!
Pam and Jim Halpert finally made it out of the office
🤣🤣🤣
Bruhhhhh I was like na but then they showed them with glasses on and yea
I live in Fredericksburg tx and it is super awesome! I would recommend checking it out, but come during the winter, because we have all kinds of christmas stuff and it gets really hot during the summer.
The summer is brutal! We haven’t been at Christmas yet, but that sounds really fun!
Hey neighbor! I live in fbg too!
Going to enchanted rocks in a week! Ty for video and places to visit ideas!
Jokes at the end were funny! 😂 You guys are great and always waiting for the next adventure!
Hahaha thanks Jeshua! 🤣
So many fun things to see and do in Fredericksburg- bringing back all the feels and making me miss TX!
It’s such a cool area with so much nearby! We’re glad we could virtually transport you back to Texas, but without the heat!
I know what you mean........The minute my feet leave Texas soil (which is often because I travel a lot) I feel like a part of me is missing. There is just something so magic about Texas. Just pure delight on so many levels. I have had the privilege to live in all 5 climatic zones of this great state for one reason or another and the weather is different in all parts. You get that when you have such a huge state, but my favorite personally is the Hill Country and West Texas. Nothing like it. I am sure a lot of people feel the same way about their state.❤
Great vlog! Boy, I could go for some of that ice cream! I loved your out takes...made me laugh out loud! Can’t wait to hear what your plans are!😜
Hahahah can’t stop me from making a dirty joke! 😜
I sell pickles at Eckhardt peaches Thurs sunday
You guys are super adorable! Bingeing on all your videos. Great editing and super informative. 👌🥰💯
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️ We cannot wait to share many more videos soon!
We love your Vlogs and we are from Germany, your Kartoffelsalat pronouncing was very well ☺️ Love from Germany, Nadine und Kevin ❤️
Thank you so much for watching Nadine! And we are glad we didn't butcher the pronunciation too much!
Very cool. What part of Germany are you from? I spent six years of my life in Beautiful Germany. Pre COVID I would visit Germany at least once or twice a year and sometimes three. I am actually visiting Fredericksburg next week and I am looking forward to it. :)
@@MagnificentGermanywithDarion I'm from Bavaria and live near Munich. Do you currently live in the US? Have a good Time at Fredericksburg 😊
PROST!
Great news about potentially being back on the road. Hopefully 4th July is the head out date for me in the UK as well and weekends away and some longer tours can begin!!!!!
Crossing our fingers for you! 🤞🏼 Where do you hope to go explore? And we can’t wait to share an update very soon!
@@AdventuresofAplusK The plan is maybe to do some Dales 30 in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. I have a longer affair in the The Lakes mid-July.
I am hoping to get the tour through the spine of Wales in that was for earlier in the year. We shall see. Staycation demands are high in the UK currently.
Wow, that sounds amazing! We have watched some UK vlogs through Wales and the Lakes District and it looks incredible! We cannot wait to visit the UK again someday 😍
i love watching your vlogs, you two are so cute !
🥰😭 Thank you so much Ellen!
The peach stand that they went to is really good. It has really good peaches and some of the best prices. If you want amazing peaches for a super cheap price, drive down Ranch Road 1376 past KOA campgrounds, and there will be a place with a giant sign that says peaches on it. It is run by our gillespie county commissioner. All of the peaches are a really good price, and all of the fruit is organic. He uses his own homemade organic pest repellent that is 100% organic and safe (no pesticides). He is also just a really nice guy to talk to.
Sweet! Thank you for the tip!
You're welcome!😁👍
This is very helpful!!! We are going there to Frederickburg for the weekend 2 weeks from now and I have no clue what's open and what not, thank you for this video!!! I'll be posting mine too on my channel 😁
I’m so glad you found this helpful! Have an amazing time! 🤗
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank you so much! I definitely will! I'm a hugeee fan by the way :)
Next time you need to take a drive through Willow city loop it’s between Fredericksburg and enchanted rock it’s one of the most beautiful places the drive-through in the Hill country Especially when the bluebonnets are in full bloom
We love seeing the bluebonnets!
You guys has us at peach ice cream 😁 I'm not sure what it is but for some reason the edit style on this episode really moves in a different but fun fun way. Love it:) We're actually heading to San Antonio for the 4th of July weekend and hoping to hit a few of these stops before returning to the Gulf Coast.
Thanks for this share topped off with a yummy foodie tease.
James and Kim
We aren’t sure what we did different either lol, but we are so glad you enjoyed it! San Antonio is our favorite city in Texas after Austin and we hope y’all have a blast! Make sure to get some puffy tacos (we still have yet to try them!) and the Pearl Brewery area is super cool. We hope to film a vlog there the next time we are back in Austin 🙌🏼😃
I’m loving these Texas vlogs looks awesome 👍 thanks for working so hard to get us the views from the top 👏👏 I’m like Adam I can’t wait to get a haircut 🙈
We’re so glad you’ve enjoyed them! And oh man, the haircut was a game changer! He feels so much better haha
Awesome video guys! Keep the shiny side up, and the greasy side down on your travels, and watch out fer Smokey.
Thanks Eduardo!
No thank you guys
My wife and I just spent a week in Fredricksburg. We stayed at a really neat cabin in the Gotton Gin B&B village. The blue bonnets were not quite blooming yet but we are also in a drought. :(
Ah nice! That sounds like an amazing getaway! We miss seeing the bluebonnets out, we didn't realize they hadn't bloomed yet!
One of my favorite places Enchanted Rock I live about 10 miles away from there Crabapple Road Fredericksburg Texas
Enchanted rock is so cool! Glad you enjoy it too!
Love your videos! Good quality video, informative, entertaining and cute!
We are so glad you enjoy them! Thank you for watching!
Awesome road trip folks. I have just found you and watched y our video and I loved it. I am flying into Dallas next weekend will be driving to Fredericksburg and I am looking forward to it. I will be on a quest for Spaghetti Eis lol. I travel to Germany at least once, twice, or sometimes three times a year (pre-COVID of course). I have a RUclips channel and I love sharing my experiences. I have subscribed to your channel as I am looking forward to viewing your past and future videos :). Thank You both for sharing :).
Have a wonderful trip! We'd love to visit Germany someday! Fredericksburg will definitely have a more Texan feel than Germany I am sure, but it's cool to see how other cultures have influenced the state!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thank You so much , I am looking forward to my trip and to see and explore Fredericksburg. Please don’t hesitate to contact me when you are ready to Tavel to Germany. As a hobby I construct awesome itineraries and i don’t charge a thing. I love to help people travel and my reward is to hear from whoever that I help travel to Germany tell me that had an awesome time. :) :)
That is so so awesome, thank you!!!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Very welcome
You all should go cave exploring it's really fun. Clear river is also a really good ice cream store you all should also check out Bear Creek and. If you all come back to Fredericksburg check out Hilda they have really great breakfast tacos but make sure you get there early there's a long line in the mornings
Thank you for all of the tips!
Your pronounciation of "Kartoffelsalat" was nearly perfect for the first trial ^^ - God bless
Woo! 🙌🏼
So happy to see yall in Fredericksburg! I love Otto's! So yummy! I just realized my profile picture is of me on enchanted rock. Y'all are so inspiring. Sending hugs from the Texas hill country.
Your profile photo looks familiar! 😉 We love Fredericksburg! Any other spots we should check out next time?
@@AdventuresofAplusK The museum there is pretty impressive on the Pacific war. The Auslander for some food. I took my boyfriend's german mother there and she was impressed. Of course Luckenbach nearby (I'm sure yall have heard of that being from here). I was very impressed by Old Tunnel State Park and watching the bats take off from the tunnel. Wimberley is another one of my favorite small towns near Austin.
We hadn’t heard of Old Tunnel State Park until this visit and it sounds so cool! Adam is dyinggggg to visit that museum. We will have to come back when we are back in TX and indoor activities are safer!
Well this was fun! Great video guys...Now I need some peach ice cream! Sunteti frumos! Time for you to get back on the road!!!!
Thanks Brad! And yes, it’s about that time! 🙌🏼
Love Fredericksburg great food and vibe. Almost feels like I’m back in Germany
We have yet to get to Germany, but it’s on our list!
Deutschland 🇩🇪
Visited Fredericksburg back in 2004 and loved it! Talk about a "Germanic Heaven".lol
It’s so nice up that way. Like your shirt Adam!
Thank you! Houston strong! 💪🏼💪🏼
Chill vlog. Enjoy Texas!
Thanks Shawn!
Great video! That peach ice cream looks amazing!
Thank you! And oh man, it was soooo refreshing!
The bloopers in the end are so great...
Hehehehe 😂😂
Me and my family been through Fredericks when we would go to Granger lake and I thought it was so pretty
And loved the vid
Ah nice! It’s a very pretty area. We still need to make it out to Granger Lake!
Have y'all been to Cabela's
Enjoyed 😊
We living a German heritage city with a 12 day Oktoberfest festival in, yes October each year, lot's of delicious food and beers to enjoy!
My husband and our pup Finn each got a grooming last week 😊 Both feeling much happier and cooler😊🍁
Ooo cool! We have loved visiting towns with German heritage-we bet that Oktoberfest is so much fun! And it’s crazy how much a haircut can make you feel better. Adam is feeling like a new man! Lol!
Hi guys, good to see you! 🥰 And that you've found a bit of freedom!!!! YEAH!!! 👏👏👏
Go away Covid! 🤨🙏
Things definitely look different now, but we’re so thankful we can be outside safely! And still try local foods! 😋
Kona had to stay home??? lol my chocolate lab is named Kona! We named him after the city in Hawaii. Love my furbabies
We named Kona because of our love of coffee and Hawaii!
I don't know if my eyes ere messing with me, but that rock actually looked like it was moving, LOL. Don't punch cactus, they bite. My dad has some friends in Fredricksburg, and he said he had some BBQ out there that was smoked using peach wood. Apparently smoking with peach wood adds a whole new flavor to the BBQ, but it's hard to come by peach wood, almost making it a delicacy. We are headed to Enchanted rock right now for some cold weather tent camping. I found y'all again, trying to see if the bathrooms and showers have a heater in there. I guess we will have to film that and put it in our video. Y'all, rock, we love your adventures. Might have to find some peach ice cream this weekend.
Ooo peach wood BBQ sounds very good! Have a great time at the park! Wish we had intel on the campground, but I don’t think we have ever camped there. Stay warm!
Drive through fredericksburg on my delivery route. Beautiful place. I see all these shops but can't stop because I'm in the delivery truck! :(
My fiance and I are going to drive down there soon!
Ah nice! Does your route change or stay the same? Would be cool to get to see new places for work!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I go to SO many cities in Texas. I work for a raw dog food company called "Texas Tripe." I deliver the product to cities throughout the whole state.
Ah nice! We used to feed Kona raw dog food until we moved into the van and now can't store it easily :(
@@AdventuresofAplusK I totally understand! It's a pain in the butt sometimes! My freezer is my two dogs freezer! Lol
The ice cream 🍨 😋 so ready to visit Texas!
The best treat after sweating profusely! 🤣 When are you headed to Texas?!
Adventures of A plus K Supposed to be in the fall.. hopefully! Loving the videos!
Man I really want to go to Fredericksburg now! It's a little too far from Houston for a day trip though 😭
Aw man! Maybe you can make a little weekend trip! 🤞🏼
Wait wait wait, the thing where you have to walk up the rocky trails onto that big dome-shaped rock... you do this for fun? Also, why'd you go to Otto's and get the wurst platter? You should've paid a little more and got a better one LOL!
Hahaha we for some reason enjoy type 2 fun! 😉 And that’s the wurst joke we’ve ever heard! (Kidding 😜) 😂
It was my now wife and i’s first hike as well!
That is awesome!

Back on the road - good for you guys- when will you move to other states
We will be back on the road very, very soon (and escaping this heat as fast as we can)!
I love these guy’s vlogs!!!!
What the prettiest scene of this park??? Thinking of doing a proposal their
The top is pretty awesome! But even the views halfway up are amazing. Definitely on the rock though, that’s our favorite part. Congrats on your almost engagement!
Baaaack on the road :) :) :)
🙌🏼🙌🏼 can’t wait to share an update very soon!
The climate in Texas is obviously not at all like here in Germany.😅
Lol! Definitely not! 🤣
Oh yeah dry in some areas and humid in others
❤❤
"I punched a cactus by accident" 🤦♀️🤣Just me or did anyone else get really squeamish when Adam was pulling out the needles 🤢 I feel you guys with the need to pre-book doing anything and there not being slots available. We got National Trust passes for Christmas from -my mum- Santa and we've barely been able to use them, every time I try and book something for a weekend, it's already full. I'm keeping everything crossed that the next blog sees you both back on the road - dying to know where you're headed, but if this video is anything to go by, I'm guessing north... less hot!
We were squealing behind the scenes watching him do that. Ouch! We’re so sorry to hear you’re facing the same book in advance struggles! We hope you’re able to use that pass from Santa soon! 😉 And we can’t wait to share what our plans are, but we can confirm you’re 100% right, it’ll be somewhere cooler!
He’s always smelling stuff 🤣🤣
He loves to smell food hah
jenschke=yenskey :)
Ah dang it! We’ll get it right next time!
My mother lives in Kerrville TX
Very nice! It looks super pretty there!

Ekardt peaches has the best peaches
We will have to try next time!
🖒🖒🙌🙌
👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 Thanks so much for watching!
