Weekend Getaway

A couple of weekends ago, Dave and I got to take a weekend away without the kids (thanks Jon and Katie!!).  We had such a fun trip.  We decided to just go down to Dallas, and not waste our precious time (or money!) traveling.  We hadn't really had the chance to check Dallas out before that, so it was a lot of fun.  We had a great time, and I even got a new outfit out of the deal. :)  We splurged a little on the hotel and stayed at the Hotel Zaza.  It was a lot of fun, and a really beautiful place to stay.  The one downside was the nighttime noise.  We didn't count on it being a party hotel, or on the fact that we'd be able to hear everything going on - drunken yelling and everything.  Nice.  Especially since I was most excited to get some delicious, non-interrupted sleep.  Maybe we were just there on a bad weekend or something.  Oh well, we still had a blast!  I guess we're old fogies now - we like our peace and quiet.  :)  

We went to the four-star restaurant in the hotel, and it was delicious, and the reason for the new outfit.  We laughed that we had to pay twice as much for half as much food as the restaurant we went to the next night.  It was actually just the right amount of food.  We didn't feel stuffed, but we weren't hungry either.  Perfect.  We went to the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Botanical Gardens, and just checked out Dallas via automobile.  We also got massages, so we came home nice and relaxed, if not rested. :)  All-in-all, it was a fabulous trip, and I'm glad Dave and I got to spend the time together.  It's good to remember that we're husband and wife, and not just daddy and mommy.  I love you, Dave!  Thanks for spending that fun weekend with me.
