Truck Yard

Earlier this week, Theresa and I discussed how we both wanted to start blogging again. I was thinking about it and I don't know why I ever really stopped. In a city like Dallas there are 1000s of new things to try and see every week, so I am back and I am going to take you on a trip around my city. 

First stop: The Trunk Yard

I have to premise with the fact that I had literally no idea anything about this place. A few friends and I were soaking up all the sun and good weather we could before it gets cool again by laying by the pool. We stayed until we were basically withering away from starvation. Finally after having enough of our moaning of hunger, someone mentioned hearing about a cool place where food trucks gather was suggested, I literally jumped out of the cabana and back into my clothes. My intense response hurried my friends and we were off to discover what may be one of my new favorite spots to hang out.

Situated just of the trendy Greenville Ave just north of Dallas. Truck Yard is a super chill place that has a rotating circuit of food trucks and a permanent airstream as a bar.  

 There is a tree house, a stage for bands or movie nights and a lot of lawn chairs and tables for people to sit in. 

                            

There was an Italian food truck, a sliders/grilled cheese truck, and a Chinese food truck. I, extremely typically, chose Chinese. I think I am actually addicted to Asian food. Is there a support group I can join for that? I ate this delicious "Bombay Chilled Chicken" from Bombay Chopstix and I cannot recommend it enough. Unfortunately there is not a picture, I'm sorry and to quote myself, "Too hungry! There is no time for pictures!" 

But I did snag this picture of the my number, while I was waiting for my food!

This is the view from the tree house. Yeah, you read that right, there is a tree house. A tree house…at a bar. I know, right, this place is awesome! 

It wasn't until we arrived that we found out that it was actually a bar. How cool is that air stream turned bar? It really keeps with the truck theme and I love it. 

And all the marquee lettering? Could this place be any cooler? Probably not.

Yes, I am mildly obsessed with the Truck Yard. It is open Monday - Sunday from 11:00 am - 12:00am.  Check it out! 

Airports

It's finally here! I'm going back to Dallas today!

I'm just sitting in the airport, listening to Macklemore, and getting my blog on!

Thrift Shop

I don't know about you, but for some reason I have always secretly seen airports as like a little runway. I know, most people are like sweats or whatever is comfortable, but my first instinct is to bust out my rocking new outfit. Actually, I blame Theresa. Homegirl always looks fabulous at the airport, which I'm sure prompted me to follow in her footsteps. I'm going to be honest, being the adoring younger sister I am, I pretty much copied all she did up until, well, I probably still do. Hard to break a habit, I guess. 

Well I have to go board my giant plane now!

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL SPECIFICALLY MY ROOOOOMIE DANNNNN!

Peace Out Denver

Despite being beyond excited to head back to school, I'm dreading doing all my laundry and packing up to go back to school just based on the state my closet is currently in. It looks like a tornado went through there.

Yeah I know, I swear I am usually cleaner and more organized.

Would it be wrong to have a suitcase of only shoes?? Just asking, totally hypothetical...

It was weird how being back home it was like nothing changed. It was like we never left each other, nothing had changed, which was odd because basically everything has! We're spread across the country, all with different majors, doing different activities, attending seriously different kinds of schools.

Adorable, right? This was taken by my friend Ryan after an intense nerf gun war. Yeah I know... Nerf guns.. we're all 18-19 but we don't want to grow up so we do everything we can to avoid it.

Even though I'll miss my parents, my friends, and those gorgous mountains, I cannot wait to go back to school! In the last month it has been so weird not seeing my school friends everyday, especially my crazy roommate/best friend Daniela!

Yeah, she's a hottie :)

But actually she is! And I've missed that kid like crazy since we have been at home for break.

I am going to straight up pounce on her when I see them.
