Fredericksburg has grown and changed tremendously in the last 20 years. It's a bit touristy now, with the requisite ups and downs that come with that business. Plenty to do for a couple of days, especially if you are into cycling, riding a motorbike, or food & wine. The German veneer is a perhaps a bit thinner than in days past, though certainly still present.
I used to go hunting on the family ranch near Boerne. On rare occasions we'd go to F'burg or New Braunfels to eat supper. This was in the early 1960's. Since then the ranch was sold and broken up. I can't ever go back. I look at GoogleEarth and the sprawl breaks my heart. Thomas Wolf was right.
