We returned home yesterday from our trip to Texas. Yes we were tired, dirty, cranky and hungry but we had a wonderful time and even managed to make some new friends!
I'm busy today unpacking, doing laundry and getting Little Mister and Baby Deux back on schedule but here are a few things I learned while away (and one of my all time favorite Texas tunes!)
Top Ten Things I Learned While in Texas....
10. While the Best Western may be newer, the Holiday Inn Express is THE hotel to book in Salado, Texas. (Bare in mind these are the only two hotels in town. That is unless you like B&Bs which DH and I do not. We like tvs in our room and we do not like having breakfast with strangers.)
9. It is impossible to go a full day without bumping into someone you know and didn't expect to see while in town.
8. While the rest of the world is buying smaller cars, you are required to drive a SUV in Texas.
7. "too cold to go swimming" for a Texan isn't the same thing for those of us living up north. 85 degree outside temp + 68 degree pool temp = perfect swimming temp for me!
6. Drive thru Starbucks are genius.
5. Bluebell Homemade Vanilla is the best ice cream in the world.
4. Despite Mamere's protests half a bluebonnet is still a bluebonnet and for us ex-pats they are a sight for sore eyes.
3. Only in Texas should one eat chopped beef sandwiches and smoked sausage. My mouth is still watering.
2. At $6, the in-flight direct tv that Continental offers is a bargin to keep Little Mister entertained for nearly 2 hours
1. It is ALWAYS worth it to put on fresh sheets before you leave town. Crawling into a nice, fluffy & clean - crisp bed is heaven after a long day's journey!
Cheers,
Ouiser

False.
The world's best ice cream is Turkey Hill mint chocolate chip. The Giant in your neighborhood has it.
I do love mint chocolate chip ice cream. Perhaps I should try some... you know for "research" :)
