What I love about Texas is the many Festivals to experience during the Summers. This past weekend I went back to Blanco's Lavender Festival. They had the little Lavender Farmers Market set up around the town's Courthouse to sample different products made with Lavender. By the end of the day, it can leave any visitor in a state of Lavender Euphoria.
A couple years back, I went to Blanco, TX with my friend Faye for the Blanco Lavender Festival. We sampled all the homemade product made out of Lavender, drank Lavender Lemonade, ate Lavender Ice Cream, had Lavender Pedicures, and went to one of the lavender Farms and picked a handful of Lavender. We saturated our senses with Lavender, and had a silent, RELAXED road trip back to Austin.
This year, I went with my roommate and her mom as a recovery Therapy for her (roommate) after her surgery a couple days before. We only stayed for a couple hours, but that was still enough to enjoy Lavender with all our senses. They weren't completely saturated as before, but still enough to relax and enjoy the scenery on our way back home.
If you're ever in Texas in the first week of June, stop by Blanco, TX. Beautiful drive, and relaxing day.
