My husband and I are always down to go road-tripping and the past couple of weekends we have caught the need-to-get-out-of-town bug. Now, we are currently a one-income family so we never go do extravagant things on these road trips, but it is the simple things that make them the most meaningful.
Our first trip was a day-trip to Fredericksburg - our favorite place ever. We have dreams of one day buying a place and moving there because there is nothing more rustic, raw and beautiful than the Texas Hill Country.
We stopped by our favorite winery, and then our eyes caught a glimpse of the Magnolia Pearl. It is this beautiful, old house that has been restored and turned into a clothing boutique that specializes in vintage wearables that are considered works of art (literally, a tattered t-shirt was $99).
After the shell-shock of those price tags, we went to downtown and walked the sidewalks popping into our favorite shops and I alway have to stop into Texas Wine Cellars where they have both local wine and beer - I love the Thirsty Goat beer from Austin.
Our second trip was to Deep Ellum district in Dallas - my first time there and it will be somewhere we go regularly. Super pet friendly! We grabbed an AirBnB right in the heart of Deep Ellum and spent all day Saturday walking around checking out local art, pubs and landmarks (there are a few pretty impressive dog parks in the area, as well!).
One of my favorite places that we found was St. Pete’s Dancing Marlin. We opted to sit outside since the day was gorgeous and we had the pups with us - our waitress immediately asked if she could feed our dogs bacon and came back with a double handful. Needless to say, Toby and Harper were in heaven. The food was on point and so was the Deep Ellum IPA.
Where is your favorite place to road trip to?
