Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Small towns are absolute gold mines for quaint antique shops and cozy little restaurants, and Boerne is no exception. An entire mile of its Main Street is dedicated entirely to specialty businesses where you’ll find the latest fashion trends, unique home decor pieces, and meals that taste just like mom used to make.
Known as the "Hill Country Mile," this stretch along Boerne's Main Street is lined with charming shops and delicious restaurants. Boutique clothing stores boast all the latest fashion trends, home decor pieces abound, and comforting meals mimic the flavors we enjoyed throughout childhood.
There's no shortage of options for stylish, affordable outfits. Whether you're more into the thrifty look or prefer dressier pieces, nobody leaves their shopping spree empty-handed.
Perhaps your wardrobe is fully-stocked and it's your house that could use an upgrade. The Victorian Rose is a quirky emporium known for antique clocks, period decor, and tons of unique gift items.
Aptly named, this one-of-a-kind shop makes antiquing easier than ever. They search high and low for amazing treasures, purchase them, and resell everything at the lowest price possible. No more hard work required on your part!
Love Boerne and don't want to leave without memorabilia from the trip? There's even a store specializing in T-shirts, embroidered pillows, and other fun souvenirs for tourists to remember the town by.
With all the year-round events going on, dull moments are few and far between. Every April is the Texas Corvette Show, parades are held for nearly every holiday, summer brings movies in the park, and market days take place on a monthly basis.
Shopping 'till you drop works up quite the appetite, and several restaurants are eager to remedy that issue. Stop by 259 Brantley's Bistro for a quick bite before getting back on the trail.
After your meal, head on down to Cibolo Creek Brewery for some sips. Craft brews, a laid-back atmosphere, and covered patio seating make it the perfect place to spend an early spring day.
Sometimes, you'll even stumble upon live music performances! On a sunny day, nothing beats listening to some relaxing tunes while a gentle breeze rustles the leaves of surrounding trees.
Have you ever strolled down the Hill Country Mile? What’s your favorite shop, restaurant, or event? Just in case you still aren’t convinced to visit Boerne, check out our previous article: This Tiny Texas Town Is One Of The Happiest Places In America.
