or Grapevine (the Dallas-Fort Worth area) to see Ben's family.
A weekend trip to Dallas isn't really that far of a drive (at least for us) so we went for a quick weekend trip and stayed with Deann & Norman.
In just a couple of days, we seemed to pack in a lot of action.
Along with Deann & Norman, we went out to dinner with Ben's cousins: Greg, Andrew (and Angela). We were there a long time and while we were having dessert, a table across the room spotted Kaden... Apparently they were doing some type of temporary tattooing & they thought that he might like to choose one.
The pool at their house was also a giant hit (besides Kaden's accidental step off into the deep end & Deann's quick-response lifeguarding skills). Thankfully Kaden still wanted to swim again with daddy a few hours later.
A few years ago Deann bought a motorized bumper-boat type toy for their grandson, Sam. Kaden tried it out last year but he didn't fully understand how fun it could be until this summer.
Before leaving town, we went to the Grapevine Mills aquarium.
I may or may not have been the most excited about the excursion.
love this picture
I got my equivalent of golf as Kaden & I took a trip through Central Market. If you've never heard of this magival place, it is a grocery store for those who are "really into food." Super fresh produce, a gigantic bakery section, isles upon isles of gourmet foods/sauces/dressings that I don't typically see in Amarillo.
I don't know how else to describe it.
Ben doesn't really get my obsession (? not sure if that's the right word ?) with food, but then again, I don't really "get" his addiction to golf.
road tripping with my cup of coffee and an excellent book...
with children sound asleep in the back.
One of the things I miss most about San Antonio..is Central Market---the one just off Broadway. So yeah.. it's difficult to live someplace now without a Central Market. (and sorry, Whole Foods just doesn't compare)...
