I'm back from my Almost Disneyland trip to Dallas!
We had a blast! We got to stay in fancy hotel with the most amazingly luxurious bed linens and a super cool pool that was half indoors and half out. The kids could swim through a little canal to go back and forth!
One night we went to the Magic Time Machine where Mr. Incredible was our waiter and the kids ran around the restaurant getting autographs from Captain Jack Sparrow, Mario and even Where's Waldo. It was so much fun but even after our $50 restaurant.com gift certificate it was well over $100! Ouch!
We spent a couple of days at Six Flags and splurged a bit by letting the kids play some games... they never get to do this so it was a pretty big deal to them!
The best part of the trip (to me anyway!) was when my husband and I were able to sneak out of our room and run down to the bar for a couple of drinks, music, adult conversation and a giant plate of greasy nachos.
Oh and I got carded! Ha!
It must have been the lack of the 5 kids that I usually have hanging on me because I honestly don't remember the last time someone asked for my ID!
But we're home now and I've got a ton of laundry and emails to get caught up on so I'm off but don't forget that today the Spring Fling kicks off! So get over there and enter those giveaways! Seriously! Did you see this stuff...
Rosette Earrings and Necklace
Rice Neck Heating Pad and a Burt's Bees Polka-Dot Perfect Mani-Pedi kit
NICE on being carded! Funny story, I haven't been carded since I was 18, except occasionally at the liquor store and even then not often (legal drinking age here is 18 btw)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, my hubby and I went out for dinner with just the two of us when we were visiting in Grand Forks december before last, and when I ordered a drink my hubby jokingly asked if I was even old enough and I was like YES dear, I'm only a year younger than you are! So then the waitress gets suspicious and cards me! and the best part... she was like, "This doesn't really look like you..." i was like ACK for half a second, then explained we have to take our glasses off for the pictures (I was wearing heavy black frames) and also that the picture had been taken the day I went into labour with my first daughter. She looked for another sec as I took off my glasses, then decided I was telling the truth. Too funny! I took it as a compliment that I no longer looked 41 weeks pregnant ;)
what a fun trip! haha, and i love when i get carded...though it's been happening a lot less than it used to :)
