The heat is on, y'all. The kids are all gradually entering into summer break mode - for most this is their last week before freedom. That means the days are longer, the nights are hotter, and the number of times you'll find a random kid hiding behind your recycling bin with a Super Soaker will increase ten-fold. So just get out of the house and go do stuff. Bonus is that some places even have air conditioning. The ones that don't normally have tequila and/or guacamole, though, and that's pretty much the same thing.
Don't forget to tag your pics with #WDDI so they can be added to our weekly round up right here on What We Did!

A View From the Top
TWU let's the public into Guinn Hall once a year. The decades-old dorm room is the tallest point between Dallas and Oklahoma City at 24 stories and provides a very unique view of the city which you can see in the photos above.

Cartwright's country fried chicken - all that and a little gravy is a great way to spend a weekend. We're still trying to figure out the best CFS in Denton, though. We're currently thinking Horny Toad Cafe, but we may be wrong. Photo by @xtiffanyyoungbloodx.
