So we made it home safe! Suprisingly, neither of us got any speeding tickets over the 5,000+ miles we drove during the trip. Tuesday afternoon we dropped the Ford Escape and caught a short flight back to Los Angeles. With all the driving, I grew somewhat attached to the mid sized SUV. So much so that now I’m back in my tiny Civic, I feel like I’m driving a go-cart! More…
With hopes of jumping 60 ft. cliffs that Derik told us about, we sought out Lake Travis. After taking nearly an hour and half because of a Garmin GPS, we encountered the smelliest toilet in the universe before stumbling upon a nice jumping point.
John was a little more willing than me to leap like an unmasked Bruce Wayne into the muggy waters.
After a super fun night in Fort Worth, Texas, it was FINALLY time to embark to Austin. Thankfully, the drive wasn’t bad at all and we were able to meet up with my step brother Derek who I had seen in almost 7 years! From there we met up with Britney at the hotel room and headed off to 6th Street, the hot night spot in town, and hit up a couple bars. First, we stopped at The Chuggin Monkey for a few drinks. Although it was a Sunday night, we were still able to have fun on our own, singing and dancing to the bar music. Our night was topped off with a stop at The Blind Pig Pub where we met up with woome.com user Diana. All in all, the night was a huge success, aside from waking up the next morning and realizing i left my debit card at The Blind Pig. Here is a quick lil mix I made up from the night’s events…
Made a stop over in Ft. Worth to meet up with the beautiful Ketra and to rest up for our Austin leg of the trip. Stayed at the “Dazed-Inn” (Days Inn) and found out about this jewel in the area called “Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar”. Was absolutely amazing, basically there are two guys jamming out on the piano, and a guy on drums. Wasn’t sure how it was going to be, but when we got there we were both pleasantly surprised.
WIth a name like “Pete’s Piano Bar”, thought I was going to be underdressed sipping martinis next to middle aged men in Tuxes, oh was I wrong… I guess I forgot I was in Texas.
“Is this a joke, boy?” the slightly overweight salesman originally from Ft. Worth said with a relaxed demeanor. He gave me two options:
Redneck style ($250)
Cowboy style ($900)
After explaining to him our endeavors to make it to New York staying on woo-peoples’ couches, I agreed on the coolest (and least expensive) Lone Star state get-up.
