Dallas, Texas - Yeeehaaaw

I went to Dallas, TX to visit the Travel Division of my work, but more importantly to see Steve & Kelsey. I had four days there... and we had a GREAT time!!

First - I got to go to the airport... and y'all know how much I love the airport!

Once I got in at 5am Texas time, Kelsey and I went to the Waffle House! Yum! Then off to work! Kelsey was wonderful to drive me everywhere.

I met with Robbie (left) and Tonya (right) - they help with the account that I'm apart of. I have to take a second to describe the food in Texas. A. Everyone eats out. B. Everyone (most everyone) is overweight C. I ate some food that can proove why.

These are Cheese Fries. If you notice, they actually bake it in a dish that you line with foil, as not to ruin the bowl. Yum. Actually, you take a chunk of Fries, put green onion, bacon, ranch, and jalapenos on it and then eat it.

YUMMIE.

Once my day was done there - I went home with Kelsey to Denton, about 20 miles north of DFW. The adventure of the evening was to Texas Woman's University. It was a georgeous campus!

We walked all around the campus... climbing trees, finding fire ant hills, and enjoying the beautiful sunset!

Second day... Sarah & Kelsey's Day of Fun! (shopping)

We headed off in the V-Roller to Plano, TX - this was a beautiful part of Texas! We drove thru Dallas on our way there... and there were these huge estates in the middle of the city!

One street, but HUGE houses... with acres and acres of manacured lawns and walkways and they are ALWAYS gated. The names of towns were also fun, i.e. Plano, Flower Mound

We made our way to Plano for the Premium Outlets!!
It was very fun... and we left after hours of too much fun to meet Steve in the town where he works (McKinney). Unfortunately, everything closes at 5pm. On a Friday.

We did get to stop by his workplace... to see all the cool landscaping. It was really cool :)
So the next day (Saturday) we were off to Six Flags over Texas! One of the things that I really loved about Texas was the interesting advertising.

This was only a snippit - and hopfully you can spot the AWESOME liquer store on the left...

Then we were off to Six Flags!! For rides and rides and more rides...YEEAAAHHH! Once we spent 8 hours there... we were done for the day :) We went home, changed into nice clothes and went to a great... no I have to say AMAZING dinner at Paupaudeaux's.

Sunday I flew out at 6pm, but we had to make the day count! We headed to Fort Worth and on our way, stopped by Cabela's - the amazing outdoor store, complete with an inside Mountain... containing hundreds of Taxidermied Animals! (OMG!) They even have different seasons represented and different areas of the world.

I saw a real Rhino!

We went to Fort Worth for the day, and OH! it was fun! :) I rode a bull! Granted, it was heavily sedated, but I rode a bull!

I now headed back to Seattle for a day and onto Chicago!

More to come...
