I arrived in Dallas early Thursday evening. Our first stop was Le Madeline for some delicious Panera style dinner. Then we headed back to Nicole's amazing condo (seriously, it's super cute!) and attempted to get ready to go watch the Purdue game. Of course we got distracted by talking and were late...this is a reoccurring theme in our weekend. We went to a bar called Frankie's where I saw Brigid and Brian. Plus I met two other Purdue people! Apparently Dallas attracts Boilermakers. Unfortunately, we all gathered there to watch Purdue lose to Michigan...
Friday I got to sleep in and woke up in time to go to yoga with Nicole. We did hot room yoga which I decided is just a ploy to kill people. Why are people volunteering to workout in a 98 degree room? Just kidding. It was actually fine until I felt like I was ready to pass out and had to leave the room. I found out later that I was actually supposed to stay in there to at least let me my body adjust to the heat. Sorry Mr. Yoga Instructor Man...I didn't want to puke in front of strangers. I actually didn't get sick. But I did spend the rest of the class outside.
After yoga we went back to Nicole's and she did a little working while I walked down the street to get a mani/pedi. I am on vacation after all! Normally I hate mani's but I actually really enjoyed this one and I've managed to go 3 days without ruining it so maybe this will become a reoccuring event.
Friday night we went out to dinner with Jace and Brigid to a place called Sushi Zushi. They had by far the biggest sushi menu I've ever seen! And it was all delicious! After dinner we went to go play with none other then Gregory Schildmeier! After the girls dominated in catch phrase, we decided it was time to head out on the town. We went to a bar Irish bar where of course there had to be car bombs involved! Greg and I made plans for my next visit to be a little reunion in Austin and then Nicole and I proceeded to mock Jace's ability to dress himself. All in all, a very enjoyable evening!
Saturday I slept in way late mainly due to the black hole that I was happily sleeping in. We finally started functioning and headed to the movies to go see Confessions of a Shopaholic (which I thoroughly enjoyed!) complete with a giant icee--a must in Texas. Afterwards we went shopping (what else!) to kill some time before we needed to get ready for the evening.For dinner on Saturday we started off with champagne and appetizers at Brigid's apartment. I've never seen more gated communities then I did in Dallas. Then we headed off to a restaurant called Cuba Libre where the food was so-so but the sangria was excellent! After that we went to a place called the Corner Bar. The evening was full of lots of laughs and good friends...you can't ask for anything more!
Sunday we woke up in time for brunch at State and Allen. Then it was back to Nicole's to pack up! We headed to the airport and were able to visit a bit with Nicole's mom who happened to be passing through DFW the same day! I also got to ride the Skylink (the tram) at the airport which I enjoyed probably more then most. I got to my gate just in time to board and was given an exit row! I'm pretty sure this was because they saw how tall I was and that I needed a lot of leg room. ;) Aside from a 10 minute delay in Detroit the trip home was hassle free and I collapsed into my bed when I got home just before midnight! The weekend was glorious but I was exhausted!I did managed to finish New Moon while at the airport (I'm a little behind the bandwagon on the Twilight series). I know everyone said that was the worst one but I liked it.
I'm still looking for my camera cord but I promise pictures will be posted this weekend!
