Eatin' Our Way Across Texas

Just got back from visiting my sister, Chris, in Texas.  I needed to get the heck out of Seattle and head down to sunshine and warmth!  My girlfriend, Gina, went with me and we had the best time.  Lots of good food, laughing, fun events, food, historic locations, and food... did I mention food?  We truly did eat our way across the state!  So fun!

Texas Longhorn

Tropical Sno was our first stop off the plane.  I always have to at least one everytime I visit!  My nieces Jillian, Madison, and Sadie came along for the ride as well. 
Chicken Fried Steak, Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Corn at Babe's Chicken in the middle of nowhere!  Portions weren't nearly big enough!
Everything's better fried, right?!  I have to admit, we were tempted to stop for some of these Fried Pies, but we stayed focus... we were headed for the nearest Cracker Barrel! 
Chris, Gina, and I made the 5 hr. trek from Dallas to San Antonio to see Rock of Ages.  Beautiful, historic theatre and a great show with awesome 80's music!
This was the other reason that we wanted to head to San Antonio:  The Riverwalk.

The Riverwalk seemed like it went on for at least a mile.  Each side was loaded with tons of restaurants and a few shops.
Last stop before heading back to Dallas was the Alamo.  Loved it!
