Memorial Day Weekend Trip

We took off for Dallas on Friday as soon as we could get away from OKC. We didn't get to Dallas until late Friday night. Bob scored us rooms at the Galleria. I love that place. Saturday morning, we go up and went to the Corner Bakery in the Mall for breakfast. We got to watch an ice skating class of pre-schoolers. They are so cute.

We left there and began running around Dallas. We went to Frisco, Texas for the sole reason of visiting the Lego Store in the Frisco Mall as Brodie has discovered Legos and loves them. It has only been open for a couple of weeks. They are opening one in Penn Square sometime soon. (Trust me ... don't go even one time ... money flies out of your pocket). We were there early, but the crowd was already crazy. The guy who worked there said that the crowd was nothing. After calling Valerie 3 or 4 times, we settled on our purchases and left. Here is a picture of Bob in the mall after leaving the store. His only comment was that he felt like he was back in New York City after a trip to Canal Street.

People were stopping him to ask directions to the store. It was so funny. Here we are from Oklahoma and people think we know where the Lego store was. Oh right, Bob was loaded down with bright yellow Lego Bags.

We discovered that Texas has California Pizza Kitchens. When we are in Las Vegas, we always make a point of having a meal there and we eat their frozen pizza's all the time. We were in heaven. The Cobb salad is still to die for.

Driving down the road, we saw a toy store and Bob pulled in for me to see what they had. The sign below greeted me at the door. I had to take a picture of it. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

They had signs like this up all over the store. I felt like every move was being watched and even though there were a couple of items I would have bought, I just left them there. When I walked out, some sort of buzzer rang. The cashier shouted that I was OK and to come again. Sure thing, I really want to buy something from a big brother watching type atmosphere.

A friend of mine had been telling me about a restaurant he wanted us to try in Dallas. Celebrations is a family style restaurant featuring home cooked food. The cool thing, especially if you are really hungry, is that you are able to get seconds on most of the meals. I had the pot roast and it was awesome. Bob had the Chicken Fried Steak and Fried Chicken. He said the chicken was very moist and tender. The vegetables come family style and the bowls just kept being refilled. Very good place. It is on Lovers Lane. The next time you go to Dallas, it is worth the trip.



Bob said we didn't win the lottery and we had to come home on Monday. I delayed it as long as possible and we didn't get home until after 5. I have bought lottery tickets for this week. Hey, someone has to win it ... why not us????????????
