☀️It’s been a summer full of sweet memories!
In magical San Miguel de Allende, I toasted to another year with friends . ❤️ Celebrated another year of marriage in Austin, Tx. 🌄 Took a refreshingly cool pause in Santa Fe on the way to pick up my son from his Rayado Trek in Philmont.

Back home, we’ve loved hosting get-togethers with friends and serving up some bomb asadas (if I do say so myself!) using recipes from “Asada: The Art of Mexican-Style Grilling” by Bricia Lopez🌮🔥. We’ve cooked our way through most of the book this summer and I’ll have to do a recap of some of our favorite recipes. I also finally got to the see The Pixies, a longtime bucket list band! And did you even summer if you didn’t get sweaty on a dance floor or have a sidewalk dance party?!

☀️Despite the extreme Texas heat, quiet early morning poolside coffees ☕ and evening swims 🌙🏊‍♀️ were my saviors and reminders to slow down and enjoy those small moments. I’m sad summer is fading but ready for cooler weather and a new season 🍂.

Drop a 🌺 if your summer was filled with sweet moments too!

⭐️Austin, Texas, has always held a special place in me and my husbands hearts since our college days🎓. Just a 3-hour drive from Fort Worth, it’s our go-to for quick getaways. This trip was extra special as we celebrated our anniversary ❤️.

STAY 🛏️: Carpenter Hotel-This historic gem, with its warm terra cotta brick and lush gardens, feels like an oasis in the heart of Austin 🌳. Our minimalistic room came with a balcony overlooking a beautiful pecan grove. With plenty of lounging spots @carpenterhotel the shaded patio and poolside 🏊‍♂️ were our favorite spots.

DO 🎶: Finally ticked off watching Honky Tonk hero, Dale Watson, at the Continental Club on a Monday night 🎤.
🌊Instead of heading to Barton Springs to cool off, we took a slight detour to San Marcos. There, we enjoyed the San Marcos River, spring-fed by the Edwards Aquifer and a refreshing 72°F all year round. 💦
🛍️We also took a quick shopping stroll down South Congress ☀️.

DINE 🍽️: 🍳We kicked off one of our days with a delightful brunch @tillerykitchenandbar . I chose this spot because it had a beautiful view of the Colorado River, making our meal even more special. 🍳🥂
✨We indulged in a relaxing poolside lunch with cocktails at the Carpenter Hotel. 🍹🥙
🎊The highlight, however, was our anniversary dinner @dipdipdiptatsu_ya. Not only was the dining experience unique and memorable, but the staff also added a heartwarming personal touch with a signed anniversary card. Look out for a detailed recap on that meal coming soon! 🎉🍛

[PACK] 👗 For a sizzling Texas summer (hello, 100°F days!), here’s what I packed:
🌼 2 dresses
🩳 1 pair of shorts & breezy pants
🎽 2 tanks, 1 Mexican blouse & a multi-purpose long sleeve
🥿 Comfy Teva hurricanes for daytime, @tecovas booties for night
❌ Cowboys boots in this heat? Maybe not!
Given the scorching Texas summer, packing light layers is key 🔑. With temps around 100 degrees, be prepared to change outfits through the day🥵!

What’s your favorite thing to do in Austin? Share in the comments below! 🎸🌮

🤩"Maybe we should just quit working, sell our stuff, pull the kids out of school, and see the world" 🌍, "OK". That was a discussion my husband and I had about 14 years ago. And after that, we set everything in motion to make it happen 🛫. It didn’t happen overnight , but over the course of less than a year we prepared for a move to Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷. With hope 🌟, a bit of anxiety 😬, but tons of excitement 🎉, we sold our home 🏡, sold many of our belongings, packed up, and explored South America for four months, then landed in Thailand 🇹🇭 for a month.⁠
⁠
Imagine us with our two boys 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, then ages 9 and 4, navigating Buenos Aires, our home base. We dived deep into the culture 💃, sipped yerba mate, played in parks 🌳, stood in awe before the Iguazu Falls 🌊 and the Perito Moreno glacier, met penguins 🐧, mingled with gauchos 🤠, and even survived a 24-hour bus ride 🚌! ⁠
⁠
Between adjusting to a small apartment 🏢, navigating life as an expat, managing curious and energetic kids, and realizing that my Mexican Spanish 🇲🇽 wasn't anywhere close to the local Castellano dialect 🗣, we tried to make the most of each day with its joys and challenges. We also accepted, that some days were just for wandering 🚶‍♀️🚶 and ending up at our favorite place for helados 🍦.⁠
⁠
💫Our adventures taught us so many lessons, but if there's one thing I'd share, it's this: Dreams deserve to be lived 💖. Time is limited ⏳, but dreams, whether big or small, move us forward 🚀. That's the essence of travel for me—it embodies achievable dreams 💼✈️. It might take time, planning, and prioritization, but it's within reach. As a child, I dreamed of going to Paris🗼. It took me 26 years, but I got there 🙏. Now, I've got my eyes set on Ireland 🍀 and further exploring some of my favorite spots I've visited. How about you? Drop a heart ❤️ if your dreams involve travel! What's your next dream destination 🌐?⁠
