A Family Outing

Today, on a day off, we woke up very early and left the house before 7:00AM. Why you may ask??

ROAD TRIP!!!! 

It was off to Dallas we headed in order collect our belongings scattered all over the DFW Metroplex. You see, the movers aren't allowed to take certain items, and we didn't trust the movers/storage with some of our collectibles, so a friend of ours held on to them for the past several months. And the movers forgot to pack our BBQ grill, so another friend held on to that for us.   We traipsed around, going door to door, visiting and catching up with two sets of wonderful friends.

And while we were up in Dallas for the day, we visited an unfinished wood furniture store (since they are scarce in the Houston area) and got Todd and Katelynn some wonderful items we were needing for their rooms.  And since we rented a small trailer to haul our stuff back, we had room to bring it all!

But our quick visit to Dallas would not have been complete without two stops: Babe's Chicken for dinner and Braum's for dessert. Babe's Chicken is, by far, the best chicken place out there, but they only have nine locations around Dallas/Fort Worth.  And for those of you who have been blessed enough to enjoy the heavenly nectar called Braum's, you completely understand.  Braum's is a dairy based outside Oklahoma City.  They have stores only within a 300 mile radius to ensure the milk, cheese, ice cream, etc. stays fresh.  The milk is amazing and the ice cream is the creamiest, richest you've ever tasted!  Of course, we had to stop by Walmart and get some styrofoam coolers, making it a point to bring back two gallons of milk and two cartons of ice cream (yes, it's that good!).

After a long day, we made it back home well after midnight.  To all of our friends in the DFW area that we didn't get to meet up with, we're sorry we didn't get to see you this time.  But now we know the drive from Houston to Dallas isn't too bad (albeit a long drive), and we'll definitely be back.  Any excuse to get some more Braum's!!!

Forget Disney World... THIS is the greatest place on Earth
YUM!!!!
"DADDA... I WANT ICE CREAM!!!"
(This was the quietest 10 minutes of the whole day!!)
