Now that I'm a bit obsessed with cooking and new recipes, etc. I've grown quite fond of Guy Fieri from the food network and love watching his show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I looked up some of the restaurants featured on his show and we made it a point to hit some of them up while we were in town. When we first arrived in Dallas, we made our way to the pool and had it to ourselves, it was divine! Then, it was out to dinner at Twisted Root Burger Co for a-maz-ing burgers! I had the lost mexican, bleu cheese with jalapenos -delish!
Amen!
After we went to dinner we drove to the mall and saw Madagascar 3, then headed back to the hotel to bed. The next morning B and Adam let me sleep in while they went to McDonalds for pancakes. Once we all got showered and ready for the day we hit up the Dallas Farmers Market! I walked away with some limes, cherries, and avocados -YUM.
I really wanted to try this place for lunch at the Farmers Market (that was also featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, but it was closed -boo). So, we headed to another triple D (that's what Guy calls it) recommendation called Cane Rosso for lunch. I wasn't as impressed with this place, it was an Italian joint with a pretty limited menu.
Guy Fieri was here!
After lunch we went to the Dallas Aquarium!
After the aquarium it was time to head home
All in all, it was a great 24 hours and just what the doctor ordered! xo

That Brennan seems like a good little traveler, and good company in general.
Oh, what a treat to share in your trip! Brennan is so previous - and I love the turtles and flamingos! Glad you had such a fun trip even though it was short.
XXOO

Looks and sounds like a very refreshing trip -- and even Rainbow got to join in on the family fun! When we were in Dallas last year for the game we ate at a triple D (Mike also loves that show) where we had some might fine Mexican Food.
I'm a big fan of the short getaways. Clears the mind and refreshes the soul to get back to daily life.
I'm also a fan of aquariums and seeing these pictures made me realize I never go! Must remedy that (although I have NO idea where the nearest one is in Maine...)
What a fun mini vacation! Great pics. The stickers on the door to the burger joint cracked me up. See you in TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Molly, that trip sounds great. Just saw that place at the Farmers Market on TV a few weeks ago. Too bad it was closed. Last year when we were there for the Duck-LSU game, I went to Twisted Root Burger, and one other DDD place -- both were awesome. Looking forward to seeing you and the family in a couple of weeks.
