Snake Farm






On our way to San Antonio Texas we stopped along service road 90 to see what the Snake Farm is all about. We didn't have the time or the extra cash to spend on going in. But you can see their website here.

When we got to San Antonio to see The Alamo we realized it was a Huge Tourist trap so just drove by. That is all we really needed to see. There were small towns ahead with our name on it.

Austin


Fur reals





The Frost Bank Tower looks like an owl at night.

Lone Star Boot Country


Austin was so fun. I loved this city. We saw honky tonk bars, 2-stepping and fiddle playing. I couldn't help but notice The Frost Bank Tower that looks like an owl and has been described as being characteristically weird. I went to Hill Country and got to swim in Lake Travis (fresh water lake) all day. The vintage shopping is really good. You can pick up a vintage store map at most vintage shops and this is really great guide to all the best places.

The Style Station






This was the western vintage oasis we had both dreamed of. We found it in Waco Texas at the Style Station. It is owned and stocked by the cutest husband wife duo you'll ever meet. It was southern hospitality at it's finest. Art was full of history and stories that you could listen to forever. Rebecca was busy at her sewing machine or grabbing us Iced Herbal tea from their Airstream out back. It was hard to divide my attention between this captivating duo or the racks of premium vintage western shirts, rock shirts and cowboys boots everywhere around me. I could easily say that stopping at the style station was the best way to start the trip and one of the most memorable experiences on the trip. Thanks style station!!
