Dallas

Derek and I took an adults only trip to Dallas for a long weekend at the start of the month. The kids come just about everywhere with us so it was nice to sit on the plane and relax without having to entertain everyone.  We stayed at The Ritz Carlton in uptown Dallas and it was late afternoon by the time we checked in on Friday so we had a cocktail and relaxed before going to one of our favorite spots, Nick and Sam's.

Saturday we spent most of the afternoon in Grapevine, about a half hour outside of Dallas. The cutest little old fashioned town - there were tons of Christmas holiday shops and ta bunch of winery tasting rooms to explore.  That night we went out to Javier's for some nice Texas Mexican food.

Sunday was all about the Cowboys game.  We headed over to the stadium early, enjoyed hanging out in the plaza, had fun at the game even with the loss then hung out at the post party for a little bit after because it was so nice out.  We knew we would be tired and want to relax so we just went to the lounge for appetizers, got room service and went to bed early.

Monday was our final day and we had little plans.  We enjoyed sleeping in, going over to Highland Park for mMexican at Mi Cocina and some shopping, a little pool time since it was mid 70's and time at the spa.  We went to Nobu Dallas for our last dinner and called it quits early.  Tuesday morning we were ready to head to the airport early and get back to the boys.
