Dallas Girl's Weekend

  I feel like I got so much accomplished on my day weekend.  I worked so hard on lesson plans, grocery shopped, made 3 meals for our week, and even went to Dallas!

We had a nice time.  Leslie opened up her posh apartment to us once again.  We were so excited that Casey flew in to meet us from Denver.  She is such a jet-setter!

Here we are at our first restaurant of the trip..Fernando's Mexican restaurant

We stayed up until 2 am talking!  I haven't stayed up that late since the early 2000s. Since everyone agreed that we should all sleep in...we didn't wake up until 8:30-8:45!  It was great to sleep and then take a quick shower to get ready for our action packed day.  Breakfast on Saturday was great.  I dined on a red velvet pancake and cheese grits.  We had a 45 minute wait so breakfast was sort of an early lunch.

We headed to the Dallas Aborteum after breakfast to see the Chihuly exhibit.  It was some pretty fancy blown glass.  I am no stranger to Chihuly since I've seen his work in Vegas and the Bahamas at Atlantis.  It's amazing what he can do with some glass.  Erinn is going to teacher a lesson on Chihuly so she got some great photos for her PowerPoint.

After a whirlwind day of shopping, going to the Pearl Cup, Zoe's Kitchen, and Mockingbird station...we got to rest at Leslie's for a couple hours.  We got ready for our dinner and headed to Meddlesome Moth. It was such a cool restaurant.  They had lots of tasting plates so we all got to share.  

We ate: Lobster Poutine, Bacon lollipops, pork belly, salads, and moth balls. Delish.

After dinner we went to the movie at 10 pm!  I know what you are thinking..."How did you stay up?" I don't know, but I did!  We went to see "Hope Springs" and it was OK.  It had a great ending.

Farewell breakfast at Breadwinner's where I look like death.

Can't wait until next time!  Maybe we will go to another fancy city next time.  Denver???
