So this past weekend I found myself going to Texas. Again. I seem to go there at least once every 6 weeks. Usually it’s to go visit my kitties and their temporary cat parents, but this time, it was to visit another friend who moved to Dallas. Why is everyone moving to Texas? No mountains = NO FUN. Actually, it’s plenty fun, but it’s different fun. And the amount of fun one has is directly correlated to who you’re hanging with and what you’re doing. So really, anything can be fun. I digress.
Saturday
Saturday we went to the Lego Exhibit at The Perot Museum of Nature and Science. Yes, that’s right, Texas has Nature and Science museums. Try not to pass out from shock.
The exhibit was incredible. So many legos. Such amazing designs. I highly recommend you check it out if you find yourself in Dallas.
They also have a really interesting exhibit on sports training where I got to race a T-Rex. Sadly I lost, but luckily I’m still here because dinosaurs are extinct.
Yours truly losing badly to a T-Rex
It was also May 4th, so Star Wars abound throughout the museum, which was fun.
After having all the fun at the museum we went to the local theater to see a play, “Real Women Have Curves”. Really amazing acting and the theater is adorable.
Fun fact: Jose Andres has a restaurant in Frisco, TX and you really should go if you’re in the area. It’s really, really, REALLY good and affordable. Two things that usually don’t go by a name like Jose Andres. I’ve been to the mini bar in DC and it was the most amazing dining experience I’ve ever had, but it’s also $250/pp. Zaytinya is Mediterranean fusion and it’s the best hummus I’ve ever had. And I’ve been to Greece people! Super good. Please go.
Sunday
Sunday funday. Seriously. Avengers Endgame was and is a wonderfully fun movie. It’s made $2 billion dollars in less than 2 weeks. Need I say more?
We made our way back to the hotel/car and got to see some local artwork. Sometimes I think Dallas is trying to be Portland. Weird, but awesome. Random Eye Sculpture. Yay!
We were about to figure out lunch when George texted and said he was in Dallas. So we decided to drive over to the airport to see him for 30 minutes. Haven’t done something like that in a long time. So fun! I even got to play out the notebook scene and jump into George’s arms. YAY! Life is short people. Anytime you have someone who can take you jumping on them, do it! It’s exhilarating!
After fun times in the Dallas airport, it was off to dinner and then Rainbow Vomit. How exactly does someone explain Rainbow Vomit? Hmmm. Interactive photo booth of colors, clouds, rainbows, and crazy.
And to end my amazing weekend, a lovely vegan chai milkshake. I’m not really sure there are words to explain how much fun was had in Dallas. It was amazeballs. I highly recommend the activities I found if you find yourself there. And if I haven’t mentioned it, I love my friends. To pieces. It’s moments like the ones I had this past weekend that make life so beautiful.
