Ice Skating @ the Plaza of the Americas

When I was a kid, I used to go the Plaza of the Americas with my Girl Scout troop. It was an annual trip we had. I couldn't skate then just like I can't do it now. I decided to sit out this time and take pictures of the crew having fun.

Basilica of St. Augustine

Growing up Catholic I've always been fascinated with the candle offerings. I don't know how to describe the feeling, but to me there's just something magical about this picture.

SURPRISE!!

The other night we threw a surprise party for a dear friend of ours. The plans started a month before the big day and we all did a great job of not ruining the surprise. We told her that we would all go out to eat the Village Burger Bar after she got off work. So when she came downstairs to meet us, she was super surprised at what she found on the other side of the door. Happy Birthday Mo!! We love you!!

State Fair of Texas

I love love love love the fair. I love the food, the games, the smell, the shows...EVERYTHING!! It's been 2 years since I've been and once again it did not disappoint. This year John and I took the Green line to the fair and that made everything so much easier. No need to worry about paying the ridiculous parking price or dealing with fair traffic....just hopped on the train and 2 stops later we were there. We spent a few hours there and had a blast. I can't wait till next year!

Best View in the House

This view is by far the BEST view of Downtown Dallas. I LOVE IT and am so glad I get to see it everyday.

Rooftop Patio

Rooftop patios on a cool summer night = bliss.

Madison Ave

Last night we went to Madison Ave for a going away party. One of our friends is moving to Austin and we went out to celebrate his new job. I love the rooftop patio at Madison Ave. It has one of the best views of Dallas. It was a breezy clear night - the weather was perfect - not too hot and not too cold. I didn't take my Rebel with me so the pictures didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but I think I was able to capture this moment. I love with way the light hits everyone's face. There's nothing better than a night out with friends.
