New Years in Review

This year Ryan and I decided to hop town and head down south for the New Year!  With the holiday falling on Monday and Tuesday it made for an easy long weekend AND Ryan's cousin, Christy moved to Dallas a few years ago and we hadn't got down to visit yet.  So it just seemed like the perfect thing to do to close out 2012!  

On Saturday we hopped on a plane early and got into Dallas around noon.  We headed to the  Omni Hotel for our first night's stay... a little hubby and wife R&R!

We ate lunch at the Texas Spice Restaurant in the hotel.  Super yummy!

After a quick nap, we headed to the spa for the Cowboy & Cowgirl couples massage.  I enjoyed it, Ryan didn't have the best masseuse.  But still relaxing.

HAHA- a little funny ;)

After massages, we got ready and left for dinner at Bob's Steak & Chophouse.  DELICIOUS!  Ryan and I split steak and salmon served with potatoes.  So yummy!  

I passed out pretty quickly after getting back to our room.- a warm, snuggly bed and a full tummy- yep I was toast!

Christy picked us up on Sunday morning and we headed to brunch at the Corner Bakery.  Super good food and it was so fun to start catching up with Christy.  We stopped by Home Depot so that Ryan could pick up a few things to help Christy do a few things around her new townhouse and then we got home.

We vegged on the couch, sipped wine and watched the Packers vs. Vikings game!

And we were THRILLED that the VIKINGS won!  After the game, we headed to a Brazillian Steakhouse for dinner.  I had never gone to a restaurant like this- wow- that is a lot of meat!  It was so good but we were stuffed when we left!

Monday was a low key day with a little shopping and lunch out but we were preparing for the mayham of the evening!  We watched a few movies in the afternoon and then we popped the champagne to get the night started!  We headed off to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar!  Both Ryan and I ended up on stage, DANCING!  It was a fantastic night!

Tuesday was a rough morning for a few people- I was the sober cab so you do the math on that one ;)  Ryan and I got on a plane that afternoon and arrived back in FREEZING Minneapolis that night.  We picked up Dupree, ate some Chinese food, and crawled into bed pretty early.  

It was a wonderful trip to Dallas- thank you Christy for having us!

Hope ya'll had a wonderful New Years celebration as well!

Cheers,
