Southern Hospitality









So the magical mystery trip was to Texas! I know, "Texas?" "In the dead of summer?" BUT, we went to Texas for the company--not the weather. We saw dear, dear friends who moved there last year. Olivia's best friend in fact, Amanda and family. They have spoken about eachother daily since Amanda moved last November.The week was fabulous. Our friends have a "mansion" --at least compared to our home! The pool, home theatre, cocktails poolside, our own "wing"--it rocked. Mary and I had massages and pedicures and the "princes" enjoyed their time together.



This darling frog swims in their pool every night- what a hoot!




We ate lovely meals they thoughtfully prepared and visited some super spots. Oh, the Mexican food! And Scott's HOMEMADE goodies (cakes, frosting, salad dressing, croissants even!)








We even managed to find a bar in Fort Worth that carried more than 100+ beers!






The kids spent the days in the pool and the nights singing karaokeentertaining us with talent showsand eventually ---crashing!





We can't wait until we're together again!

Great photos. So, I have to ask did E find his true prince after kissing the frog???

I'm no scrapbooker (don't have the patience) but hope you document your fun trip to Dallas in some permanent way! The photos alone are priceless!!
