"Best Of" the first month in Dallas

 Good news! We are staying put in Dallas/Plano for the month of March. This means that Michael gets two consecutive months of leading his store, we can stay in our current apartment and don't have to pack up, and we can further settle into life here in Dallas. Below are some of our favorite times in the city:

1. The Dallas World Aquarium 

2. Fort Worth Museum of Science and History (Carmen could spend hours shopping in their kid area)

 3. Kidville (can you spot Carmen?)

We got to spend time with some Virginia friends that are hoping to move to Dallas very soon. Olivia is just darling, here they are eating cakeballs together:

4. Open gym time at a gymnastics center. Carmen is amazing at the gym.

5. Haggard Park in Downtown Plano - close to Daddy's store and across the street from a year round local market with fresh produce and 20 some varieties of coffee beans. I've been loving my cups of coffee!

6. Klyde Warren Park - Food Truck Sundays are pretty neat!

 Can you see all the trucks lined up?

 They have a fun splash park that the children go crazy for

 He's just perfect.

7. Twisted Root Burger Co. - a Food Network find, delicious burgers, fried pickles, homemade frozen custard. Home of the best root beer float you'll ever find. One night we were there and had already ordered our dinner but held off on getting the milkshakes when the manager announced that the first person to bring him a postage stamp would get a free milkshake. You better believe this girl had one in her wallet. I shared my delicious, free milkshake with Carmen. 

8. The Village Church - who wouldn't want to listen to Pastor Matt Chandler preach every Sunday? I'm usually in the nursing mothers room but it's still great!

9. Downtown Plano - reminds us of Old Town Manassas just actually lively and thriving

10. El Fenix - delicious, cheap Mexican food with $2.95 margaritas at all times. 

11. Frankie's Mexican Cuisine - even better Mexican food. Yum, yum, yum. 

We tried to get to another local winner, but the wait was so long that we went elsewhere. We'll try it out soon enough. For now, we'll keep eating tex-mex.
