Mom drove in Saturday and we had a very exciting morning which I will hopefully go into more detail about at a later date. Try not to die of curiosity in the next few weeks. ;)
Anyway, that afternoon we drove down to downtown Dallas to this amazing hotel. Unfortunately I didn't take my nice camera so I just have some camera phone photos.
Heading out the door!
We decided to get steak and went to a highly rated restaurant that was a little more expensive then we initially realized. But we decided to stay and enjoy it and we were very glad we did!
After we ordered the waiter brought out mini lobster and shrimp corndogs. They were sooo good!
Next we split a arugula, goat cheese, and pear salad. Again, YUM!!!
Finally I got a filet mignon and Tim got a NY strip steak and they were both excellent! We shared polenta and brussel sprouts.
We decided to forgo dessert but I got a little bag of delicious cookies anyway, courtesy of the chief (all the ladies in the restaurant did).
We had so much fun eating at a gourmet restaurant but we were not as "at home" as many of the other patrons. One of our favorite things to do is people watch and there were some interesting people to watch! If you know anything about Dallas you know that there is a lot of "plastic" around there and it was fun trying to guess who was wearing the nose (and other parts) they were born with. It was quite entertaining. :)
We weren't ready to go to bed yet but we also didn't want to go to a noisy bar so we just went to the hotel bar and each got a drink. Mine was super yummy!
The next day we just laid around most of the morning in the super comfy bed watching an awesome flat-screen tv.
More photos of the hotel.
We ended out or mini-vacay by going to the mall to shop for jeans for Tim. We found him some jeans and I also found these adorable boots way on clearance! What a perfect way to end a fabulous night away!
Thanks so much for watching the girls, mom! We're hoping to make this a bi-annual tradition and might even stay in the same hotel next time.

How nice, Stacy! So glad you had a great time. Justice and I have done this a couple of times, but I'm sure it will be at least three times more fun when we get to leave the kids at home. :-)
