The Texas State Fair

Recently I went home to Dallas for a short weekend jaunt. It is not that often that I find myself missing Texas, but this time of year something always has me yearning for a Flethcher's Corny Dog and spin on the Texas Star. State Fair time is the best time of year in Dallas. As a kid, we always got to take a school holiday for it. As I have grown up, I have learned that not all fairs are like the Texas State Fair. In fact most other State fairs that I have been to do not even exist in the same realm of reality in which the Texas State Fair lives. Naturally, everything is bigger in Texas. It is more like a full blown amusement park than a State Fair. It goes on for three glorious weeks in October, so you if you have never been to the Texas State Fair, I highly recommend you add it to your bucket list. Here is a small taste of what you can expect:

Gotta Get Outta This Town.

Hey Y'alL!! Im going on vacation!!! This Thursday, Tyler and I are headed to Nashville and I can not even express how pumped I am!!!!! We are meeting up with one of our best couple friends, Taylor and John to go see my favorite men, Widespread Panic play on Friday and Saturday night!! They are playing at an amazing venue, The Woods at Fontanel. I could not be more excited, it been over a year and this will the tour closer, AKA a guaranteed good time!!

So after our rowdy weekend with friends, Tyler and I have decided to stay for a few more days to explore the town. Nashville is just one of those places that I have never been to but for some reason I know I will fall in love with! Knowing myself, I'll probably be like "lets move here" after a few hours!!

I can't wait to go honky tonkin', wear my cowboy boots, eats some down home food, and get away from it all for a little bit!!! I will say, I was hoping to finally get to wear some of my summer clothes but the forecast is calling for rain the whole time we are there, bummer! Im sure we will make the best of it anyway!!!

Also, since none of us have ever been to Nashville before, I'm enlisting all of blogger buddies to help me find the most amazing places to go!! Have you been to Nashville before?? Whats not to miss!! Thanks for your help!!!! And whoo hoo for vacation!!! Where are you going?
