i have become an expert at road trips to texas.
i know the speed limits. the best gas stations. im actually considering making a "road trip through texas mix."
it was 5:45am. i was driving and we made a pit stop in amarillo. whataburger was open and although i wasnt really hungry, i felt like it was a road trip requirement. matt jolts awake. orders some hamburger value meal with a coke and a chocolate shake and concerningly looks at his phone.
amarillo!?
yes.
oh. good. here it is. and then he turns up the volume and starts blaring out...
"Amarillo By Morning, Up from San Antone
Everything that I got, Is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky, I'll be buckin' at the county fair.
Amarillo By Morning, Amarillo I'll be there."
naturally dan and i join in.
"im glad your up," i say, "its your shift."
our final stop was austin. we had friends waiting. three full days of music. matts birthday.
there was fun to be had.
and as i write this 4 days later, i can tell you that i am still catching up on lost sleep.
but oh. it was worth it.
Top moments in Austin:
1.) the entire black keys concert. so sexy.
2.) dancing our hearts our to vampire weekend.
3.) being surrounded by true phish fans. and trying to be one of them.
4.) exploring austin and stopping to get feather extensions from nicolette :)
5.) meeting new friends at the ultimate hipster bar - shangri la.
6.) rocking out (by myself) to matt and kim
7.) eating the best queso with the best boys at kerby lane cafe.
8.) falling in deep love with the magical mysterious edward sharpe.
9.) singing along with 80,000 people to the classic eagles.
10.) driving through oklahoma through a HUGE lightning storm.
