Deep in the Heart of TEXAS!!

So I officially am back home in Texas! Man it feels great to come back after being away for a summer. Never have I been away from here and been so anxious to get back; I guess New York does that to a Southerner. You realize how good you got it once you leave.

I can officially say that I did the whole New York thing, and I know that is not the life for me. Do not get me wrong, the city is magnificent but for me personally, I would not want to live there permanently. For millions of other people though, they call NYC their home. Overall being in New York City for the summer was like a once in a lifetime experience, that I am glad I did so young in my life. There are people that go their entire lives wishing they could live in NYC, and I am blessed and fortunate to have been given the opportunity at this time in my life. It was this summer that I have gained great appreciation for the South; it's unlike any other part of the country with its charm and hospitality unparalleled.

Friday evening I flew into Austin Bergstrom International Airport where my family awaited my arrival by minivan. We were staying the weekend at Horseshoe Bay Marriott Resort in quiet hill country about an hour west of the state capitol. The place was adorably situated in a resort country town of lakefront summer homes and stucco condos. It was not our typical vacation location, but something different. This town, Horseshoe Bay is where the Texans go to get away from the city.

Below are some pics from the weekend back in Texas:
