A Fun Getaway

Carroll and I had a child free weekend in Dallas last weekend thanks to his parents and our sister-in-law, Les. We had been talking for months about where we should go...Las Vegas, New York, Arizona were some of the places we thought about. Since we only had Thursday through Sunday, however, we chose Dallas. That would be so quick to and from Austin (the kids' base) that we would not have to spend two of our days traveling.

We had the best time. We stayed at the Anatole. We worked out, shopped, ate, and watched movies. Did you hear that?? I said we worked out and shopped...two things Carroll is NOT a fan of, but he enjoyed it because it was with me. We hit one of our favorite restaurants while there, The Cheesecake Factory. Darn that Orange Chicken and Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake!! We also discovered a new favorite restaurant called Mi Cocina. How I wish there was one here.

The kids, of course, had a blast at Ma and Pa's house...swimming, fun meals and activities. Piper and Cannon barely noticed that we were gone. Elle, on the other hand, cried just a bit when we left. But, she shook it off quickly and joined in the fun.

I don't have a single picture to show you because we were having so much fun. We will definitely have to make this a yearly thing as long as everyone is game.
