Our school has organized countless trips to the Hill Country, and they all seem the same: wine tasting, LBJ ranch, and German food in Fredericksburg. That's all great, but I figured that there has got be other things around the Hill Country for it to be such a highly acclaimed destination!
After some searching on the internet, I found out that the metal bull, which I've passed by a gazillion times in the past on the way to Fredericksburg, is actually a sculpture ranch that's open to the public Friday - Sunday.
The Benini Sculpture Ranch is 140 acres of open space with sculptures by various contemporary artists.
This was a great break from the routine Texas Hill Country day trip!

After a long day of climbing and walking, we settled on Texas-style comfort food at the Silver K Cafe in Johnson City. The Honey Pecan Fried Chicken Breast was awesome! It's super crunchy, and the sweetness of the honey isn't overwhelming.
