six year weekend getaway

So, last year, we didn't really get to celebrate our five year anniversary in a big way. Which I had planned on, but then I had just had babies, so plans changed.

This year (#6), KG and I decided to have a weekend away in Dallas. Honestly, I was mainly excited about staying in a hotel and sleeping as much as I wanted to! But we did take full advantage of being in Dallas and ate alot.

We dropped the girls at YaYa & Pappy's house on Friday, and headed to Dallas. It was late when we got there, so we went right to dinner at Snuffer's (I mean... fried pickles. Really.). And after dinner, we went right to the hotel to bed. And it was wonderful. There is just something about going to bed and knowing that no babies are going to wake you up in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

We stayed downtown at the Hyatt. Have to say, the rooms aren't that great (especially considering our last hotel stay was at Aria in Vegas..), but Reunion Tower has a special meaning for us... it is were we got engaged back in 2005. And I've always wanted to get pictures of the tower for our room at home... 6 years later, I finally did!

Saturday was actually our anniversary. We slept in and then headed to Paradise Bakery for a chocolate croissant... which they didn't have. After breakfast I gave KG his gift. Here's the story... I really wanted an iPad. And I had been dropping hints for months. And then I started telling KG how AWESOME his gift was and how I had had it since JUNE (both of which were true). So, Saturday morning, I got my iPad. And KG...
He got an awesome stein. And all of the hype that he didn't believe (he kept saying I was just trying to get an iPad) was true. :)

Still, I got an iPad, and we headed to the Apple store for some accessories! :) We stopped by the Container Store, which I'm certain was exactly what KG wanted to do. ha.

We had lunch at in and out burger... and I'm not sure it was all that I dreamed it would be. But it was decent. The place was PACKED though.

The Aggies played that afternoon, so we went to watch the game at Christies on McKinney. We had a good time just sitting and enjoying the game. We also had the BEST jalapeno poppers. They had a beer that we both love...

Funny story... this is the glass my next beer came in...

And the one after that...
This Aggie just can't win. Seems to be a theme this season.

After the game we went to this crazy little BYOB place called Rocco's Pizza & Pasta. Nothing crazy, but decent. And KG had found this bar he wanted to go to because of the vast beer selection, so after dinner, we went...

On our way back to the hotel, we stopped for some tower night pictures, and then we crashed.

Sunday was another sleep in day, and then KG got me what looked to be a delicious croissant from the hotel... not impressive though.

Before we headed home, we went to the Sixth Floor Museum. I've been several times when I was younger on field trips, but I've always wanted to go again. It was interesting... more so now that I'm older I think.


We had lunch at Uncle Julio's and then headed back to pick up our girls, which included a sickly little EK.

It is amazing what can happen in six years... here's to another six with my love!
