This blog is kind of a diary but hopefully along the way on my crazy journey I will have some kind of knowledge or insight to share.

Crash and Burn
So that crashed and burned. I guess I'll try one more time now that I have my own computer, but if it doesn't work.....bye, bye blog.

Fredericksburg, Tx
As promised my adventures in Peach land:
Four of my friends, my boyfriend, and myself all decided that we were not going to let this summer go to waste. We all had different ideas about what we wanted to do so yesterday we merged a few of them together. I woke up at an ungodly hour to go meet my friends at school at 7:30. We then, for some unknown reason, decided to pile into the most reckless drives car and drive to The Mongolian Pancake Haus. It was amazing!!! I had never been before but it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had.
Tips when you go to the MPH:
-order the Waffles with Bacon in them, to die for
-go with friends and be the youngest loudest group there.
- don't get freaked out by the rotating toilet seat covers in the bathroom, I was told they are completely sanitary.
We then drove to Fredericksburg. It usually takes a little over and hour to get there. But Sarah drove. We made it in under an hour. So scary.
Tips for Fredericksburg:
-go to the visitors center, they will help you so much
-pick your own peaches, its way more fun
-skip lunch and binge eat peaches in a local park
-leave peaches that are not as ripe as you would like them to be in a brown paper bag in the hot car while you go shopping, they will be perfectly ripe when you get back.
I love antiquing and was super surprised that my friends did too. The first store that we walked into had two comb and brush sets for my vanity set. Two!!! I walked around for two days at one of Texas's largest antique shows looking for that set and as soon as I walked in to a little shop in Fredericksburg I found them!! (P.S the Round Top antique show is still super amazing, highly recommended)
Tips for Antiquing in Fredericksburg:
-smile and say hi to the lady working the cash register, this will come in handy latter
-try on all the hats
-take pictures of your boyfriend in vintage cowboy gear.
-marvel over the old taxidermy
-drool over vintage dresses
-find cool objects to make terrariums in
-be super nice to the lady at the cash register, strike up a conversation, haggle over the price and Bam! great deal on a antique find.
-ask the nice lady where other antique and thrifts shops are, continue your amazing journey
We found some pretty great stuff, on of my friends bought a glass dome thing to build a succulent garden under, I found my comb and brush set, another friend found a jar of shells for her room and a really cool umbrella. We went shopping in the "foo foo" stores on the main street and my boyfriend bought a hunting knife at a store called Something for the Men. We also got FroYo. Its not outing unless you get FroYo. On our way out of Fredericksburg Sarah drove again. Somehow the minivan full of teenagers ended up racing a Honda Civic driven by a thirty year old man. Thrilling yet terrifying, kids don't try this at home, or ever for that matter.
I had an amazing time. the group that I went with is super drama free and we just got to hang out and have fun and enjoy each others company. I am so blessed to have such group of people in my life.
