Salado, Texas

I have never heard of Salado, Texas until this weekend. We went there for a Girls' Weekend (birthday celebration) and stayed at a bed and breakfast, the Rose Mansion. Our gaggle of girls occupied the whole main house. And it's a good thing that there were not any other visitors staying within 100 feet of our festivities, we had some volume at times...
