It's been a rough December and January. Scott has been out of town a lot and needless to say I have been unorganized, scattered, and a little cuckoo while he's been away. He always has Market in Dallas twice a year where he is gone for the week. He asked me if I'd like to join him for a little trip...just the two of us. Umm, yeah! So we lined up Mimi to come watch the kiddos and I flew out Saturday morning. Scott picked me up from the airport and we headed to lunch. It was gorgeous out so we opted for a table on the patio. You'll have to excuse the photo clarity, all the pics were taken on my iphone.
Then it was time to go to Market...whatever that meant. I've always heard the term but never understood what it was. I thought it was just another convention or show. Hubs hooked me up with a badge.
Holy Guacamole! 3 buildings and seven stories full of shopping....where have you been all my life?
Spent a few hours there...Scott mingled and I shopped but warning: I do not advise wearing shoes like this! Ouch!
Finally, I could take the pain no longer (I had to pull out a couple Toy Story bandaids for the blisters I acquired with those dang but oh so lovely shoes)! So we headed to check into the hotel and relax before going out that evening. This is the view out of our hotel window. Shh, don't tell the kids there was an ice skating rink in our hotel!
Has this man been gone so long that I have to re-train him? Come on!
So after an afternoon snooze, it was time to get dressed and hit the town.
We started off at a cool bar called Nobu for drinks and appetizers.
Then we headed to another cool place called Ocean City. The patio was really cool. It was a bit chilly but I'm a sucker for sitting outside by the fire.
And yet another bar called Adolfus.
The next morning we slept in (awesome), had a nice breakfast and then hit the road home. Of course, no road trip would be complete without stopping at our favorite store Bucees. If you have not been, you don't know what your missing!
It was a quick trip but there is nothing more important to us than getting to capture these times when we can. It helps us to re-connect without all the distractions. Thank you Scott for making this time for us. Love you!
