Our Second Anniversary Trip

Well, this weekend we planned a trip to Dallas for our 2nd anniversary :)  It was really fun!  We weren’t wrapped up in doing anything special; just getting away and having time together.  We decided to stay at the W Hotel Dallas.  Below are some pics of the hotel. (Click image for source)

The hotel is pretty, and the bathroom rain shower is awesome.  However, overall, we weren’t entirely pleased with the hotel.  We’ll be returning to our Hilton favorites :)

Saturday night, we just had a chill night and ate at Desperado’s on Greenville.  We did a little bit of shopping as well.  It also snowed a lot!!!  The picture below is a picture we took with our sunroof open as it was snowing :)

Sunday, we woke up, and look how much snow there was!March 2010 049March 2010 050 March 2010 051 March 2010 052 If you see white, it was snow :)

We worked out at the fabulous fitness center at the W first on Sunday.  Then, we got ready as we were headed to surprise my friend Cynthia for her birthday!  Henry and I schemed with Mike to come in and surprise her.  We met them at La Duni for lunch.  I wish I had captured her reaction on film somehow because it was awesome.  She was SOOOOO excited and shocked.  I didn’t tell her, but people started looking as she being shreaking, hahaha!  It was really cute.  We went to their house and hung out a bit afterwards, too.  Later that night, Henry took me to the Old Warsaw for dinner.

Monday, we, again, worked out and got ready to check out and leave Dallas.  We decided to go to lunch at Twisted Root Burger Company after having seen it in the past on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  We then went and did a little more shopping for our anniversary present!  It was Henry’s idea that we get new bed sheets since the traditional second anniversary gift is cotton.  Isn’t he awesome?!  We decided on some Hotel Collection 800 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets at Macy’s :)

Following our activities in Dallas, we also wanted to surprise our friend Courtney for her birthday!  We also schemed with Will to surprise her.  I finally remembered to get her reaction, so have a look at the video here.  Sorry…I’m not a good videographer.

I love the beginning when Henry says we are surprising ‘Corky’ because that’s what Courtney’s nieces and nephews call her :)  We went to dinner with them at Villa Montez.  After staying the night with them, Henry and I got up early and drove back to Houston.

Tuesday afternoon, we went to Bergamos Spa in Friendswood and got a couples massage.  It was awesome!

It was a great anniversary and we are so excited to have celebrated two wonderful years!
