Trip to Dallas

Hey Everyone.

About a week or so ago me and the hubby went and visited my dear friend Misty and her new husband and baby.  I have known Misty for a very long time, since junior high. We didnt always hang out in the same crowd or group of friends but we were both friendly and so throughout the years we became closer. 

We had such a blast visiting them in Dallas. She cooked us a great dinner when we arrived.  We stayed with them at their place so that we could spend more time together.  Saturday, we went to breakfast at one of our favorite cafes called the Dream Cafe.  My husband loves the cloud cakes.  I opted for the Dream Egg Benedict and added artichokes to mine.  Misty ordered a popover that looked deilish. After breakfast, we headed home and dropped off my hubby (her hubby had to work) so he could catch the Notre Dame game.  Yes me and the hubby are huge Irish fans!  Misty and I ran to the grocery store to pick up some snack items for tonights game night. 

We later returned and we got ready for the evenings festivities.  After we got ready and my husband was in a good mood bc Notre Dame won we left to go to McKinney.  We went to this really cute town square that had amazing food and chocolate stores and antique shops.  We had a blast but it was freaking hot..gotta love our Texas heat (not really!) we almost ran back to the car desperate for AC.  We scooped up her hubby and went off for dinner.  Now as we are approaching the restaurant she points its over there and all I see is some beat up metal warehouse. Im like where? She says there...its the Chicken Barn.  What? do what?  of all the places you take me here..did I wear the right shoes..i love chicken but I dont want to see it alive before its cooked...please no. Okay so she calmed me down...people say im dramatic?? whatever! It was actually a lot of fun and really good basic country food.  Its family style. So they basically bring all the unlimited sides and put them in the middle and you order your meat. Chicken strips, fried chicken and so on.  Definately check out Babes if you want basic, easy country food in a fun environment . 

After dinner and feeling full and wonderful. We went back to her place where we started getting things ready for game night. We both made a ton of snacks and dips for the friends coming over later.  We played Battle of the Sexes, Apples to Apples mostly and had a blast.  I really needed the time away and it was a great weekend to see her and her hubby and baby...I cant wait to go back and visit.

Thanks babe for the great visit. Here is Misty's blog if you want to follow her.
