It's also known as the birthplace of Texas...I had to look that one up since I always thought it was at the Battle of San Jacinto Texas was born but I was wrong. It actually started in Brenham when they sign the documents to create the Republic of Texas.
We stayed at a little B&B, Ant St. Inn we both found it to be charming and relaxing. The little diner next door, The Brenham Inn, had an excellent breakfast menu (dinner was tasty there too). Try the chicken fried steak. The local theatre was playing "Leading Ladies" which was cute and entertaining...I could easily see Jessie in the play!
As we strolled the streets of downtown Brenham, we walked into store after store. We stopped for lunch at the 96 West...wow. Just wow.We split the BBQ pork flatbread and enjoyed some local beers...It had a honey-apple BBQ sauce with pickled red onions. What a treat...the spicy-sweet pizza-like lunch plate was just perfect with the beers.
After lunch we continued our stroll and made it back to the inn. We ate dinner at the local steakhouse (BT Steakhouse) and went back to 96 West for dessert...get ready: molten red velvet cake with Blue Bell ice cream. Perfect with a nice Malbec.
When you are out traveling around the great state of Texas, pick a local B&B for your next stay. I promise you, it will be well worth it!
