Deep In The Heart:

When the beau informed me that he would be in Germany for the last half of July for work, I immediately knew that I wanted to schedule my own trip. (I have total trip envy, like, all of the time.) It just made sense to work out a girls trip since I'd have zero guilt for leaving my sweetie behind. And a girl trip is what we've booked!

My good friend and I are off to her hometown of...

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS!

My travels from Georgia to California aside, this will be my very first time visiting Texas, and I am so excited! We plan to float the Guadalupe, eat lots of BBQ, explore River Walk, see the Alamo, do a little two-stepping at some genuine honky tonks*, and hang out with old friends of hers... 

I just have this feeling that Texas will resonate with me similar to how New Orleans did. There's something about that Southern charm I will never, ever get tired of! Also, after the great success that was our most recent Vegas trip, I know that my friend and I travel very well together. It is going to be nothing short of a complete blast! 

*Let it be known that I am so far being considered as even a decent dancer, so this kind of terrifies me. My friend has promised to teach me some moves before we go, but little does she know what she's working with here...
