Weekend before last my girl and I went on a fast and furious trip to Dallas.
She had an audition for an ABT summer dance intensive and we thought we’d just make a “girl’s trip” out of it!  (We had never been on a trip without the boys!)
We stopped by my grandma’s before checking into our hotel and had a fast but nice visit with Grandma, my aunt and uncle and “little” cousin.   I gauge the age of my marriage by how old he is because he learned to walk at our wedding!  Let’s just say he’s mid-way through college and a handsome fellow so I remembered our 20th anniversary is coming up this year…

Emily and my idea of a good time always involves really good food so we went to Zorba’s, our favorite Greek restaurant, and had a truly marvelous meal.  I might have embarrassed Emily a bit when I asked the waiter how to say avgolemono a few times.  Divine soup it is.  We topped it off by getting some baklava to take back to the hotel for breakfast!

Greek Heaven

Before the auditions we walked a mall to work off some nervous energy, and then had to head to Coppell.  It was a great studio.  There were so many trying out (including several of her friends from here) that they ended up starting an hour late so we didn’t get out until five.  On the way home we found another great restaurant called Tiramisu’s in Coppell.  Great food and we had the place to ourselves. Then it was on the road again for home.  (Only a five hour drive home…) 

It was our first “girl’s only” trip and it was so much fun to do what we wanted to.  Hope to take a longer one soon!  NYC maybe?
