Warning----This is a rather long blog! This Thanksgiving Bryan and I made the long trip down to Arlington, Texas to spend some quality time with Mike and Mom and our old roomies, Ashley and Alex. The trip down there was rather exhausting! To begin with the GPS instructed us to take the back-roads all the way down, back-roads meaning basically 2 laned roads the entire way! If that was not awful enough Zoey decided to eat a sock a couple days before we left, so on our drive she had to go to the bathroom about every hour. So, really the GPS did us a favor, if we had taken I35 all the way down we may have had a stinky mess in the car... And, we knew she ate a sock because it eventually made it's way through her system once we got to Texas! I'm sure that leaves a wonderful picture in your mind :-)
The trip down there was the only issue we had. The rest of the vacation/holiday went on perfectly. When we arrived all six of us went Rudy's BBQ, so that the newbies (Mike and Bryan) could have the full on Rudy's experience! We all loved it, especially Bryan who was able to eat with his hands.
Thursday was our Thanksgiving feast, football marathon, and on-and-off nap time. Although Ashley forgot to get me curry my Pumpkin/Squash soup was delicious along with everything else, including Ashley's cake balls!
Friday we made it to Fuzzy's Taco Shop, Ashley's favorite place to drink/eat after each test. Then we were off to get mani/pedi's. It was the most amazing mani/pedi I have ever had! We were able to drink wine and get a neck/upper back massage. It was awesome!
Later that night, we all dug down to our inner dorkness and went to the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. This was a night of feasting and battles. Ashley and I went to a similar tournament in Vegas when we were in middle school. This was different, but maybe it was because we are older and the knights were such tools! Our Yellow Knight was such a dork, but he won. Bryan once again got to eat with his hands....I'm going to have to try and train him to eat with silverware again!
Saturday was a pretty special day, Bryan's 29th Birthday! He took turning almost 30 like a champ. For his birthday breakfast mom made our favorite, sausage gravy and biscuits. Then the day was again full of football, birthday cake for lunch, and then off to the Fort Worth Stock Yards.
Bryan picked The Lonesome Dove Bistro for his birthday dinner. It was the most amazing food! The Chef/Owner, Tim Love, defeated Iron Chef Morimoto on Iron Chef America. And, he has also been featured on Bravo's Top Chef: Masters, Paula's Party w/ Paula Deen, NBC's The Today Show, CBS's The Early Show, ABC's Good Morning America, the Food Network, and the Home Shopping Network. After dinner we were off to Billy Bobs....Only in Texas would they have a bar named Billy Bobs! And, that's the end of our Thanksgiving Adventure!
And of course Cowboys Stadium
