  So I looked it up and 7th anniversay is copper and wool.  Do you guys drink beer?  Isn't beer stored in copper barrels at breweries?  Is there a brewery somewhere around where you all could go and do some taste testing?  Ok, that was a lot of questions and no answers...just an idea.

  Riverwalk is fun.  We stayed at Hotel Indigo that is just caddy corner from the Alamo and really close to the Riverwalk.

  Austin is always fun but I did so much in Austin during my "party days" that I'm over it but it does have the Round Rock Express and that is fun.  There are several breweries in Austin and San Antonio and both also have a Flying Saucer which is really good beer.

  What part of Texas are you in?  We are doing Fredericksburg for our Anniversary in October.  It's not DH's thing either but he wants to take the (classic) Mustang out for a drive down some country roads and I want wine so we are driving down country roads from Fort Worth to Fredericksburg and going to lots of the wineries.  They also have a brewery down there to tour.

  The brewery in Fredericksburg sounds fun!  Do you know the name?  I will google.  We are close enough to Austin or San Antonio to justify a trip there so that's doable.  And I usually try to follow the anniversary gift suggestions, and H loves beer!  It would be fun to try that!  And maybe we could do a bed and breakfast to stay at but do the brewery and stuff for fun so we both enjoy it and it isn't stuffy or boring.  Thanks!!!

  We love the Marriot and the Westin resorts in both cities' Hill Country areas.  The one in Bastrop was great for our babymoon. 

  You could also, often for the same money, rent a small house on Canyon Lake (SA) or Barton Springs (Austin) similar to get the B and B feel, without other people and all that goes with a B&B.  We rented a house on Barton Springs when I was pregnant with DS and the light switch was a boy (with boy parts where the switch was) and it shocked me when I first touched it - I was sure from then on DS was a boy.  Point is, there are some funky fun rentals in that area.

  Here is the brewery DH sent me. https://www.yourbrewery.com/

   

  We are thinking about staying at one of these B&B's.  They are more like a private house.

  In San Antonio you have a few breweries.  Freetail, Pearl, Ranger Creek, and Blue Star.

  In Austin you have 512, South Austin Brewery, Live Oak, Independence and a few more.

  Thanks for the links and suggestions.  If we did a weekend at the lake or something we would want to bring the kiddos!  So I'm thinking do adult only stuff, we aren't ones to sit around really so I'm thinking a day at the wineries or brewery or something and a comedy club or concert that evening would be fun.  I'm waiting to hear back on a job interview I had and if I get it and the pay is good, I'm booking it and will surprise H with the details.
