T was originally supposed to be going to Savannah for Easter w/ friends but plans fell through so she hopped on a plane to Dallas instead! Coach and I were both at work but KJ was home for the Good Friday holiday. T called her around 9 AM and said, "come pick me up! I'm at DFW!!" Now, for anyone who knows KJ knows: #1 the kid likes to sleep. I'm shocked she even answered her phone at 9 AM on her day off from school. #2 the kid hates to drive on the highway. Seriously. It scares the heck out of her and for her to drive to DFW and navigate her way around the arrivals/departures is pretty impressive. So after KJ picked up T she called me at work and said, "Let's have lunch together." My response was, "You know you'd have to drive on the interstate to get here, don't you???" They had one of the girls at the Front Desk call me when they arrived and when I walked out to the Lobby, KJ was standing there and then T walked around the corner! I was SHOCKED!!!! Coach still didn't know at this point but KJ had asked him to meet for lunch, too. I didn't go to lunch w/ them because I was so dang busy. Unfortunately, she kind of spoiled the surprise for him because she texted him "we're here" at the restaurant and he knew something was up.
The weather was gorgeous and we had such a nice weekend while T was here. Friday Coach made a delicious shrimp scampi and we all just kind of chilled and caught up with T. Saturday morning she & I went down to the Dallas Farmer's Market www.dallasfarmersmarket.org and sampled a bunch of goodies and bought a bunch of fun random things . . . macaroons, candles, cucumbers, hummus and pita chips, a cutting board (T is so proud of herself for "adulting"!). We then drove over to Klyde Warren Park www.klydewarrenpark.org and had lunch from the food trucks. T had the lobster grilled cheese and I had the most incredible shrimp tacos from Cousins Maine Lobster www.cousinsmainelobster.com (as seen on Shark Tank). We parked at the Museum of Art www.dma.org and walked around for a bit. We wanted to tour the Frida Kahlo exhibit but the line was super long.
KJ had to work Saturday afternoon until closing so when she got home they all went to Top Golf and apparently T has missed her calling. Coach said she had incredible form and was super accurate. She said it must have been all those times she watched her friend Will practice at the range.
Sunday we had Easter brunch at the Westin at the Galleria. This is the 3rd year we've been there and we love that we have a new tradition in Dallas! As always, we had a great time and I like that they change the menu up every year. Except for the Peeps S'mores. I hope they never change those! http://www.thewestingalleriadallas.com/dallas-private-dining
After brunch we checked out our excursion choices for our cruise and booked a couple of fun trips that I think everyone will like! In Cozumel, we're climbing some pyramids and then going swimming in an underground cenote (swimming hole). I can't remember what the heck we're doing in the Caymans (snorkeling? taking a catamaran? sting rays? dolphin encounter? taking a catamaran to a snorkeling location where they keep the dolphins and sting rays???) but I do know in Jamaica we're going to climb Dunn's River Falls. I wanted to just sit on the beach and drink Red Stripes but KJ didn't think that was a good idea.
And then we took T to the airport and she headed back to B'ham and we all cried.
