Old Ladies Do Dallas

Vickie, Jamie and I have been planning a trip to Texas for many months. We were all going to the same conference in Dallas and figured we'd fly in a few days earlier for a mini-roadtrip down to Austin.

Unfortunately, Jamie couldn't come and had to be quarantined, so it was Old Lady Spring Break Texas Style!

Texas is a scary place. But I respect that Texans LOVE Texas. It makes my MN pride seem trite. The two highlights of the trip were the stop at Round Rock Donuts for a Texas sized (read: 14 inch) chocolate frosted donut and a visit to the Texas State Fair.

 

Everything is definitely bigger in Texas!  14 inch donut for only $5.99!!!  Worth every penny.

Austin Donut Massacre.  After 48 hours, we only made it through half of the giant donut.  Granted, we got half a dozen of the normal sized donuts--we HAD to try all the flavors!  Sooooooooooo good.

Texas State Fair!  Supposedly the biggest in the country (#2 is MN).  Meh.  I was not that impressed.  MN State Fair definitely has better food.

Piglet races!
