#tripaway #texas #sanantonio #corpus Making memories with my 9 year old twins cause life's too short and an adventure is always waiting around the corner. We laugh harder at all the things that didn't go as planned on vacation cause looking back, those are often the most memorable and funniest moments. #keeponlivin #bornaustinnative #hookem #tripaway

#cruiseholiday Hold onto your cowboy hats, because Carnival Jubilee isn’t just a cruise—it’s a floating Gulf Coast fiesta where the boots are snazzy, the decks are wild, and the buffet never stops. I just got back, and my inner yeehaw is still buzzing. Here’s the lowdown: First Impressions: Stepping into Center Stage felt like walking into a honky-tonk meets Vegas—glittering LED cowboys, live country bands, and the smell of Emeril’s Bistro 1396’s Cajun spices 🌶️ mixing with fresh beignets from The Sweet Spot. The vibe? “Bigger in Texas? Nah—bigger at SEA.” The “Y’all Built WHAT on a Boat?!” Moment: BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster—where I hit 40 mph while screaming like a rodeo clown. 🎢 But the real hidden gem? The Golden Jubilee Bar’s spicy prickly pear margarita (ask for the “Texas Touch”—extra tajín!). Foodie Heaven: Rudi’s Seagrill’s lobster thermidor ruined me for land food. But the Street Eats brisket grilled cheese at 2 AM? A drunken masterpiece. 🧀 My “No Sleep, Just Yeehaw” Itinerary: ⏰ 8 AM: BlueIguana Cantina breakfast tacos (habanero salsa = brave). ⏰ 12 PM: Lone Star Tailgate Party (mechanical bull included). ⏰ 4 PM: Serenity Deck nap (with a frozen Bushwacker in hand). ⏰ 8 PM: The Killer Thriller show (acrobats + Elvis = iconic). ⏰ 12 AM: Piano Bar hoedown (Wagon Wheel = mandatory). Pro Tip: Ride BOLT at sunset—you’ll race over golden Gulf views. Also, The Sweet Spot’s banana pudding is illegally good. 🍌 Final Verdict: 100/10, left sunburnt, boot-scootin’, and already stalking Carnival’s next sale. Who’s ready to jubilee with me? 🤠

#cruiseholiday Hold onto your beads, because Carnival Jubilee isn’t just a cruise—it’s a Mardi Gras-meets-waterpark frenzy where the fun never stops (and neither does the eating). I just got back, and my energy bank is still overdrawn. Here’s the wild ride: First Impressions: Stepping into Grand Central felt like crashing the biggest Bourbon Street bash—live bands, flashing lights, and the smell of Emeril’s Bistro 1396’s Cajun spices 🌶️ mixing with funnel cake from Shake Spot. The vibe? “Sleep is for land people.” The “Carnival Went THIS Hard?!” Moment: BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster—the first rollercoaster at sea where I hit 40 mph while screaming like a toddler. 🎢 But the real hidden gem? The Golden Jubilee bar’s secret spicy watermelon margarita (not on the menu—just ask!). Foodie Glory: Chibang!’s Kung Pao chicken wrecked my spice tolerance. But the Street Eats late-night beef empanadas? A drunken revelation. 🌮 My “Maximum Chaos” Itinerary: ⏰ 9 AM: BlueIguana Cantina breakfast burrito (hangover cure). ⏰ 12 PM: Cloud 9 Spa thermal suite nap (recovery essential). ⏰ 4 PM: Serenity Deck frozen rum runner (adults-only peace). ⏰ 8 PM: Soulbound vampire speakeasy (cocktails with drama). ⏰ 12 AM: Punchliner Comedy Club (laughed until I cried). Pro Tip: Ride BOLT at sunset—views + adrenaline = magic. Also, JavaBlue Café’s 24-hour cinnamon rolls are a criminal delight. 🍩 Final Verdict: 20/10, left exhausted, slightly hoarse, and already planning my next “Jubilee” jailbreak. Who’s in? 🙋♀️

I just got back from an unforgettable trip! It wasn’t just about the destination—it was about the little moments in between. From early morning walks, trying out local food, to getting lost in a place I’ve never been… every part of it reminded me how refreshing it is to step away from the usual routine. Whether it was the view, the people I met, or the peaceful silence in nature, this trip gave me new energy and inspiration. Can’t wait to share more about it with you all.
