Our anniversary trip!

June 2 was our 11th anniversary.  My husband and I went on a little trip to the DFW metroplex.  We met my Mom Thursday evening and Caleb went to her house.  Then we went out to eat Mexican food when we got back home. 
We left on our trip Friday morning.  We stayed at the same hotel we stayed at last year.  It is a new La Quinta and very nice, clean and comfortable.  Plus we found a good deal online for it too!  I recommend it if you are going to be in the area. 

Friday we ate lunch at Steak & Shake.  We even got dessert, something we normally don't do! I had an M & M milk shake and my husband had a hot fudge brownie sundae. 



Then we went shopping.  My husband had told me for my birthday my gift was to find new plates.  I have been looking since then but haven't found any.  I was on a mission to find some.  Friday evening we ate at another Mexican food place.  When we went back to our room we went to the hot tub/pool.   

Saturday we slept late and went to some shops in Grapevine.  Vendors were set up on the main street, and we looked at those booths too.  We shared bbq for lunch and then went back to the mall and got the plates.  I couldn't decide for sure Friday.  I had wanted to go to a cupcake shop.  The one I'd found online in Grapevine was closed.  My sweet husband remembered the location of The Cheesecake Factory where he'd taken me last year so he drove to that area to try to find a cupcake.  Instead we found Nothing Bundt Cakes (which my  Mom had recommended when I told her I was looking for a cupcake place), and we shared a little chocolate chip cake. 


It was near The Container Store so we went to look there.  They were about to start a travel demonstration so we went to that and entered our name in the drawing for a $15 gift card for watching.  My husband's name was drawn.  He found one of the travel items they had demonstrated to buy, an Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder.  Then we headed to pick up Caleb. 
 We had such a nice time together.  It was wonderful to have time just the two of us!    

Have a day of blessings!
