Hook 'em Horns

Last weekend I went to Texas with Lauren. We had an amazing Texas time! We stayed with her parents in Dallas Friday night and then drove to Austin (Southbound I-35, of course) early Saturday morning. While in Austin we:

• Tailgated with her friend Kayla's family - this included Stubb's BBQ, beanbags (Mr Bigham and I won!) and an adorable little niece dressed as a Longhorn cheerleader.
  

• Toured the UT campus and visited the Co-op, their bookstore that is larger than a Macy's. I made my first burnt orange purchase...ever.
• Ate authentic, delicious Mexican at Guero's

• Strolled downtown Austin and Sixth Street
• Ate at Shady Grove Cafe, my favorite Austin spot, just down the street from where they were setting up for ACL
  

Drove around the hill country - stunning!
Did some major damage at a Nine West outlet

Other than a trip to Chili's with the Johnson family, my Dallas days were not quite as exciting...they were spent in a Sheraton Hotel. That's OK - just means another trip to Dallas will be in order!
