While You Were Sleeping

Hi Walker... Sounds like you had a great time hanging with Abbey. You're always so good for sitters! How did we end up with such a great kid? I know you wonder where we go, so Dad and I thought we'd give you a little peek at "date night". We left you with Miss Abbey and drove to our hotel in Oak Cliff - a retro motor inn near the Bishop Arts District.

From the Belmont, we headed to West Village for a viewing of "Slumdog Millionaire" (which won best picture this year at the Oscars) at The Magnolia.

After our movie, we drove up to the Knox Henderson area for tapas at a Spanish restaurant called Sangria. The food was awesome and we had a great evening over a pitcher of Sangria.

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel bar for a nightcap. The Belmont is on the south side of the Trinity River and has a great view of the Dallas skyline! The night was warm and breezy. Perfect for sitting on the patio.
We had a good night's sleep and spent the following morning having breakfast at the Cliff Cafe. I tried grits for the first time and your Dad and I shared some sweet potato pancakes. Yummers! When we got home you were happily playing in your room with Abbey. You had books strewn everywhere and a big smile on your face. Thank you for spending the night with Abbey and letting us get out for a night on the town! WE LOVE YOU!
