Texas Photos

I admit it.

I was HORRIBLE for this vacation in Texas.

Seriously, horrible.

I should have taken SO many more photos than I did.

But, I have a reason.

When I'm on vacation, I like to actually use that time to relax.

I haven't really figured out the balance between documenting things, and taking the time to be in the moment.

This type of balance is hard for me.

But, I did take some.

Six Flags was something we did the second day that we were in Texas. 

I did not participate in any of the ride going.

Heights and speeds terrify me.

Amusements parks and I don't get along.

This was the ride of a lifetime.

Not because it was a great ride, 

oh my no.

It was because Adam and our friends waited in line for 

3 HOURS.

Let me repeat that.

3 WHOLE HOURS.

It was insane.

This was only part of the line.

And it looked like it didn't move at all.

But, eventually, I could see them.

Right there in the middle.

They finally appeared.

Stubborn as ever, not even considering giving up.

I was the weirdo just sitting on the side for 3 hours.

It got boring.

At least the weather was beautiful.

It made the waiting bearable.

I looked around, bought a $10 hotdog. 

Immediately regretted said hotdog.

The most fun part of the day was the people watching.

It was awesome.

We stayed at two different hotels during our stay. 

The Fairfield in Denton, and the hotel our friend works at

Best Western Premiere.

Both hotels were awesome.

After two days with our friends in Denton, we took a short

trip to Austin, Texas.

SXSW was going on, and it was NUTS.

I don't remember seeing so many people in one area. 

Music playing everywhere, hipsters galore.

I loved it.

Rachel's friend Pam graciously let us stay at her house.

Having a front and backyard to spend time in was great.

Especially since the weather was just perfect, 

not too hot, not too cold.

Downtown Austin had such a great vibe about it,

food trucks everywhere, 

cool little shops.

Adam really liked this one place.

It reminded me of my grandma's attic.

Weird, cool, old things.

I can't wait to visit again. We both really loved our time in Texas. 

Great food, wonderful time with friends,

and new memories were made.

Texas, this is not the last time we will be together.
