Pre-Birthday Celebration In The Big D....

This past weekend we went to Dallas to play for my pre-birthday celebration. Yes it is true...I will be turning the big 3-5 this coming weekend. AHHHHHHH!! :) Halfway to 40 already! :)
So to help me not be depressed about my aging, Chris whisked me away to Dallas for a fun weekend..just the two of us. :) We dropped Braden off in Dallas at Chris's mom's house on the way...so he could play with his Mimi, his cousins, and of course be spoiled. :) You know that he loved every minute of the attention! :)

Here he is enjoying some new toys and pretending like he is talking on the phone. :)
He loves Peek-a-boo... :) Mimi will probably think it is pretty funny if I play this with her this weekend. :)After we got him all settled into his fun new enviroment, we headed off to get our Saturday started. :) We ended up staying in The Stoneleigh Hotel and it was awesome. It is such a fun place in Uptown Dallas...a hidden gem within walking distance of MANY great restaurants. :)Chris was posing with the lions out front. :)Very serene and relaxing....Pretty lobby.......... I thought that their "Do Not Disturb" signs were cute. They said.. "I do not want to be alone...but I want to be left alone." :)This was our fun studio suite. I loved it. :) The TV in the middle swivled so you could watch it whether you were sitting in the bedroom or in the living room. Hee hee! :) Fun bathroom... :)We headed out to the West Village to eat some yummy burgers. :) We hit up Village Burger Bar...and we were happy. :)Then we decided that we had a sweet tooth and we needed gelato as dessert. :) Paciugo here we come!! :) Chris needed a haircut so we ventured over to Floyd's to get that all taken care of. Love how crazy it is in there. :)Looking good with the new "do". :)
We had a very relaxing Satuday and it ROCKED!! It was just so nice to hang out! :)
We had a wonderful dinner that evening at Ocean Prime...oh YUM!! :) It lived up to its hype for sure. :) Love the outdoor dining and patio! :)Ocean Prime...whoop! So fun inside... So many great things to order off the menu...so we started off with the Wisconsin Cheddar Fondue for two. :)And I had to pick what I thought was the best dish on there...Crab Encrusted Blue Tilapia!! YES!! And we had some pretty amazing Jalapeno Au Gratin. :)They brought out a 10 layer carrot cake for my bday dessert but we were sooo stuffed that there was no way we could have eaten it then!! So they just brought out a candle and our carrot cake to go! HA! :)After dinner it was time for a movie. We headed to the Inwood Theater to see "Easy A". Super fun theater b.c it is full of just couches and ottomans instead of movie chairs. :) Love it!Chris was comfy... :)After an amazing night of sleep (without a baby monitor-ha).....we decided to head to get some good brunch. A night of good sleep makes you hungry..right? :)

Nick and Sam's Grill...here we come. :) Amazing eggs benedict on cheddar cheese biscuits and Captain Crunch french toast. Can you tell that we loved all of the great food this weekend? :)

Such a super fun weekend with my hubby!! I am so glad we were able to get away and play, and we are so grateful that Chris's mom took care of our little man for us while we were gone!! Than you so much Jan! :) We cherish weekends like this and are blessed to have them. :)
