DALLAS PART I
The one unavoidable expense I have this summer is my trip to Dallas, TX with some of my best friends from college. When we graduated we promised to visit each other 3-4 time a year since we are all living hundreds of miles from each other now. This trip to Dallas might be the last one I can participate in for awhile both in terms of time and budget, so I wan’t to make sure I got the most out of it.
I have a friend on her first rotation in Tyler, TX so we
decided to all meet in Dallas. (At the time we lived in Connecticut, Minnesota,
Georgia, and Texas). We spent Thursday – Monday in the Deep Ellum neighborhood which
is great for restaurants and bars.
Thursday/Friday
Saturday
Sunday
All in all the Marg Mile was an awesome event. We were smart
an responsible and split margs when needed and ate meals at our favorite places.
I would 10/10 recommend to all your 21+ friends. Remember to budget for this if
you decide to do it. We spent about $11/person per location so as you can
imagine this was not the most budget friendly trip.
Monday
On Monday we went down to visit Dealey Plaza and see the
location where President John. F Kennedy was shot. We were running low on time
so we decided not to do the 7th Floor Museum though. We had taken
advantage of the holiday weekend, but two of our friends had to leave so we
said our goodbyes, dropped them off at the airport, and I headed back to Tyler
with my friend.
I decided to extend my trip because I figured I won’t be
able to spend a lot of time with her after this plus what can I do at home that
I can’t do in Texas, especially since I can just bum on her couch instead of
get a hotel room. Her family is visiting this weekend and we are all going to
back on Tuesday. We are planning a drive through safari and a flea market trip
so I am super excited.
After this experience I have learned that I LOVE Texas. Stay
tuned for my Texas Part II update!
