What I Like About Texas

This time next week, I will be home and exhausted from a perfectly wonderful trip to the river. What river you might ask? It is the one and only Guadalupe. I look forward to this trip so much every year. It doesn't get much better than sitting in a toob while floating underneath cypress trees on a hot summer day. Ohhh I can't wait.

As I sit here thinking about the cool water of the Guadalupe, I am reminded of all of the other things that I love about Texas.

* George's Bar * The Brazos Belle

* Cameron Park Zoo * Frio and Brazos River
* Bluebonnets * The Alamo
* Sayings such as Ya'll and Fixin' To * Swimming in the tank
