Put Cowboys and Country in your
Christmas this year for a delightful and unique holiday experience.
Find out how the west was won from some of the heirs of the original
cowboys, who rode "tall in their saddles". This is the best place in Texas for the holidays !
First Day: A
leisurely drive today will take you to the rugged and scenic heart of the
Texas Hill Country. Your first visit is in the Mountain Home, at the
unique and world renowned Y.O.Ranch for a ranch hand guided tour of the
land. Expect to see free-roaming exotic animals such as zebra, ostrich, giraffe, and ibex, as well as Texas
Longhorns. Dinner at the Chuckwagon follows, where the owners, ranch-hands
and guests all congregate for some tasty "vittles"! Arriving at the popular
resort town of Kerrville, settle-in at the Inn of the Hills Resort, your "home in the country" for two nights.
Dinner Included.
Second Day: This morning visit the interesting studios of
legendary artisan, James Avery. He began creating unique jewelry from his Kerrville garage in 1954, now his designs in gold and silver are known
throughout the country. At the impressive Cowboy Artists of America Museum, a
reception in your honor is waiting. Relax with a cup of wassail as
Pete Davis, a noted cowboy poet, brings to life the story of the American
cowboy. A guided tour of the prestigious art galleries will then further
unfold the exciting drama of the American West through beautiful bronze,
watercolor, oils and alabaster. Returning to the Inn, you may want to take a
little snooze or investigate the sports center. Later, as dusk begins to
fall, you'll board your coach and ride to the picturesque German community
of Fredricksburg for a delightful meal. Following dinner, a drive
over to Johnson City to view their Lights Spectacular (over
half million twinkling lights) will bring your Christmas eve to a dazzling
close!
Refreshments, Dinner Included.
Third Day: Merry Christmas! Rise at your leisure and then
depart at mid-morning for the impressive Hyatt Hill Country Resort, located in the outskirts of San Antonio. Here amid lavish Christmas
and cowboy decorations, you'll enjoy an extravagant Christmas Day brunch! Then relax and share the cowboy spirit of Christmas with your traveling
friends on the journey back to the valley.
