MORNING: Spend an hour or two at Horseshoe Junction (#78
on the Map). Located behind Westwood Cinema 6, just west of Brenham on 290 ( 2100 Hwy 290, West) Playing together
can add a lot to a vacation, and this is a great way to get in some healthy
horsing around. Horseshoe Junction
features a Go-Cart raceway, bumper-boats, laser tag, arcade games, a rock
wall and a small bowling alley. LUNCH: Our favorite downtown restaurant is Funky
Art Café (#44
on the Map), 202 W. Commerce (with an entrance off of Another good lunch choice is Must Be Heaven (#49 on the Map) , 107 W. Alamo, Downtown Brenham. This has an ice cream parlor featuring Bluebell Ice Cream (what else?) and reasonably priced sandwiches, soups, salads, quiches and deserts. Yet another good
lunch choice, especially if you’d like a glass of wine with lunch is, Rendez
Vous Wine Bar and Restaurant. 106 E.
Alamo, Downtown. This features light
lunch fare, also reasonably priced. SHOPPING DOWNTOWN: Downtown Brenham is loaded with great little antique stores and Boutiques. It’s definitely worth a spin around the square, and up and down W. Alamo Street, and W. Commerce Street (1 block south). There are plenty of shops within a 4 block radius to make this an entertaining post-lunch stroll. PLEASANT HILL WINERY Round off your
afternoon with a tour and some wine tasting at Pleasant Hill
Winery (#27 on the Washington
County Map). Stroll amongst the grapevines, or sit out
on the deck and sip a glass.
