My trip to Dallas, TX

I am back from my trip to Dallas, TX to visit my sister and brother in law. Just Hailey and I went on this trip and I have to say she was a perfect angel. She was so good on the plane that when we got off the plane everyone sitting around us was commenting on how great she was. A women actually walked past us as we were headed to the car and said “look that was the baby that was so good on the plane” I was so proud of her.

I had such a blast! I arrived on Thursday night around 7:30 and after picking up some Maggiano’s for dinner we headed to Kris and Dwaine’s house and just relaxed. Dwaine started spoiling Hailey right away by letting her play in his ravioli. I spoiled there dog Sampson right away by bringing him some squeak toys and treats.





On Friday my sister was able to work from home so we just hung out watching TV and we had my Favorite for lunch, Sonic. Since we don’t have them here Kris and Dwaine know that it is a must on my list of things to do when I come to Dallas. I had cheesy tots and chicken sandwich and of course a Rt. 44 Strawberry Limeade (cheers Jonnelle). When Dwaine got home from work we headed to a tex-mex restaurant called Matt’s. It was so yummy. I had the best enchiladas and queso. Hailey was so well behaved but how could she not when she had Dwaine holding her and Kris holding her bottle. Talk about spoiled.



Saturday morning Hailey and I got up and so Kris and Dwaine could sleep in we took their Great Dane Sampson on a long walk. The weather in Texas was so beautiful and Hailey and I both enjoyed our nice long walk with Sampson. After we got back and everyone was awake we headed to the Galleria to do a little shopping. My second request for my trip was to head to the Dallas Cowboys store to get my family some goodies. I of course got myself a few things also. It was so awesome being in Cowboys territory. We had lunch at Grand Lux Café. They had these things called double stuffed potato spring rolls. They were so good like mashed potatoes in a spring roll topped with cheese and bacon. We also checked out the American doll store. Next time we go back we will have to take Kayla and Maddy there they would love it. On Saturday night we went to a Cuban restaurant called Cuba Libre and we all had this meal called Pollo fried Pollo (chicken fried chicken). It was the most amazing fried chicken with Jalapeno gravy on it over mashed potatoes. I have never had anything like it.

Sunday was my day to head home to my Husband and girls. After having a sonic breakfast and another Rt. 44 Strawberry Limeade we watched a little football and then headed to the airport. I was excited to be coming home to my family but sad to be leaving my sister and brother in law. Hailey and I said good bye and headed to the airplane.

We got home around 7:30 and the girls and Denno were waiting for us when we came out of security. After lots of hugs we headed to mom and dads for some Sunday night chili and football. The Cowboys beat the Packers 27 -16 even though they played an ugly game.
