:: Friday, we were off work! That, alone, was priceless! Ahhh. We left Abilene around 10:00, and headed to Dallas. Along the way, we stopped at Blue Mesa for lunch, and did a little shopping at Luke's Locker (a running store) and a few others. Then we finished up the day's journey by checking into the hotel and getting ready for our fun evening!!!
:: We had 5:30 dinner reservations at the House of Blues...
This was a very cool place! We enjoyed a delicious dinner here -- I had the buttermilk fried chicken, mashed potatoes with blue cheese and bacon, and champagne slaw...Chris had the Juicy Lucy burger, which had everything HOT on it that you could imagine, and fries. Very yummy!! From there, we headed to a different area of the building (downstairs) and entered the theater.
Awesome place!! We were entertained by an amazing show by Lindsey Stirling. She was the runner up on America's Got Talent, and her show was a mixture of violin, hip hop dancing, and singing. She is tiny, like a wood nymph...and her show was so fun! Here is a link to one of her most popular videos, so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. Check it out! Also, here is a cute photo of her:
After the show, we headed back to the hotel, freshened up, and then went to Thrive, the dance club in our hotel. Friday night isn't their busy night, so it wasn't crowded at all. The dj was playing some great music, but we felt a little odd dancing when the dance floor was so sparce!!! We still really enjoyed our time together, and the two martinis I had were delish! One was blood orange and the other was mango. Mmm! Chris had a few margaritas...
:: Saturday morning, we slept until 10:00! No doggies to wake us up at 7:00, so nice!!! We had lunch at a yummy Italian place called Campisi's, and the pepperoni and mushroom thin crust pizza felt like home :) Almost. Then we walked around the Dallas Aquarium, which was an amazing place! I have tons of photos from our time there, and will post a few of my favorites later in the week. We had another meal at Ellen's Southern Cooking, and it was the most delicious mac and cheese we've ever had. Mine had bacon and mushrooms, and his had avocado and mushrooms. Soo yummy!!! Stopped at Super Target on the way home, and finally finally found new bedding for our room!! We've been looking for something gray that would go with the icy blue accents we have in there. We really like it!! Washing it all now, can't wait to see how it looks in the room!!
Now, getting ready for another week. Will make dinner soon, and Aspen's boyfriend is coming over to eat and watch The Walking Dead -- can't wait to see what happens in this week's episode!!!!!!
