texas

I decided I couldn't resist my travel-bug urge (mentioned here) to take a trip to the Lonestar State. I just returned from a nice little getaway to Dallas and Austin. In the Dallas area, we did a few touristy things like the Fort Worth Stockyards and the Cowboy Stadium tour (favorite stop: the cheerleaders' locker room. Anyone else watch Making the Team religiously?) and of course filled in our free time with lots of shopping. In Austin, we had a blast experimenting with food truck delicacies and listening to live music. It was all I had hoped for from my long weekend, and I'd love to return for a longer trip sometime soon!
