Mexican Cowboys
Posted on | January 29, 2010 | No Comments
I was getting ready to give up on any vacation close to home. As you know, most of my vacations involve jumping in a plane and heading to Mexico. Commonly, I hit Cancun, but frankly anywhere warm will usually do just fine for me.
I attempted a stay-cation recently. And, instead of going to Cancun like my family usually does, we stayed local. Of course, we took time off work. But, it’s not really that simple. Of course, you also need to find an activity to do with your time off. Otherwise you end up wasting too much time in front of the tube wishing you were at a beach in Mexico!
This vacation, or perhaps stay-cation, we decided to check out the rodeo. We wanted something fun and something new and different. As you can guess, the Rodeo fit this need to a tee.
So, we went to the National Finals Rodeo. They had tons of events. They had tons of food. And, we had tons of fun! Believe it or not, we had as much fun as any Mexican beach vacation we have taken in the past.
I found a great website resource in case you are looking for Tickets to the NFR because you probably want to purchase them in advance. You’d be surprised, these events are very popular, and tickets can be hard to get your hands on.
So, the irony in the whole story about my stay-cation is that the winner of the final Rodeo was Mexican. So, the whole process of avoiding my family’s typical Mexican vacation ended up watching a Mexican cowboy riding up to the winners circle!
