Trippin: Dallas - White Rock Lake

The thing i hate most when it comes to any situation is wasting time deciding what to do. When you're young and in college, you can afford to shoot the shiz all day long with friends but as time is a wasting nowadays, for me, a decision needs to be made stat. That's why it drives me bonkers when i have to be with indecisive people who don't contribute to anything in anyway. The answer 'it doesn't matter' does not help. At all. As a person, i am completely defined by who i do not want to be. And i absolutely do not want to be that 'it doesn't matter' person. Ergo, my without hesitation decisions, opinions and answers which sometimes could be misconstrued as me being demanding and/or bossy. If that makes me not an easy-going person then i guess i'm not an easy-going person. Totally fine by me. I already know i'm not an easy person to be friends with. It also begs the question then how i'm still with big poppa. The king of easy-going i don't care it doesn't matter. Maybe i'm more patient and nicer than i thot. This preface stems from thinking back to us being at the pearl cup in dallas and not knowing what to do next. Jet ski at joe pool or bike around white rock lake. I say bike and everyone else says it doesn't matter. Really? So after heming and hawing around the task at hand, we eventually all opt to bike at white rock lake. We rent our bikes from the friendly folks over at Richardson Bike Mart and off we go. The loop around white rock lake is ten miles and the scenery is just awesome. I really do wish we had something like that here but unfortunately we are lacking any type of large natural bodies of water near our city center. Pooey!

Trippin': Washington D.C. - Japanese Festival

Most people who book trips to DC to see the cherry blossoms will pick the weekend that the Japanese Festival takes place. It's five bucks to get in. Boo. While flower child and i were nearing the end of our tidal basin loop, i noticed that flower child seemed to be more out of it than usual. She needed food. Good thing the jap fest wasn't too far away. I sometimes don't realize that i'm hungry when i travel. Once we got in, we made a bee line to the food. I love me some grilled meat on skewers. We got that, some buns, and some noodles. So yums. There's just something about street food that transforms ordinary food into pure mouth-watering sensory overload. I just ate and now i'm hungry. Again.
