Gaylord Texan (Day 2)

We spent the morning at the water park.  Karson watched the airplanes go by while we went around the lazy river.  My dad stayed at the hotel and rode around in his scooter checking out the hotel some more.




Then we had lunch at this outdoor bar and grill they had at the hotel.  All of the food was really good, especially my hamburger.  Forgot pictures again.




Some neat trains in atrium



 Fish in river that ran through atrium


We had mexican food for dinner at the riverwalk cantina.  It was really good, but the wait was 2 hours, so after a whole hour of debating on what to do, we finally decided to get it to go and ate in the atrium at a nearby table.  It actually ended up being a really nice dinner and it is so pretty outside at night at the hotel with everything lit up. 







Then we had ice cream for dessert. Yummy!



Then we took more pictures, again!  Like I said, we like to take pictures.



The next morning, the day we left, we ate breakfast at the riverwalk cantina, where we had dinner the night before.  They had a delicious gourmet buffet, with everything from pancakes and french toast to a lady who made omelletes however you wanted them.  It was so good, but so BAD for you. 

 The one picture of food I took.  Oh well.

We had such a great time and I will treasure the memories forever.   It was the perfect weekend to kick off the new school year and start back at work.

Gaylord Texan (Day 1)

We went to Gaylord Texan in Grapevine this weekend with my family.  We had such a great time and truly enjoyed getting to spend time with them.  It was so nice there because almost everything was in the atrium, which was air conditioned, but felt like you were outside.

Some of the views of the hotel




We spent the afternoon walking around the atrium and checking out the hotel

My mom rented this scooter for my Dad, and he LOVED it!  He took off and explored everything and we couldn't keep up with him.  It was great to see him so happy and free. 

Then we got ready and went to dinner at Salt Grass Steak house.  It was really yummy!  I don't know why, but I totally forgot to take pictures of the food.  I always do.



 After dinner we went back to hotel and did some more exploring and took a lot of pictures.  I like taking pictures and I want to take as many as I can so I can remember every moment.

Fun with the fam!

This weekend my sister and I went to see our Nanna, aunt, and cousins.  We spent some time playing in the pool with our little cousins and then going out to eat with my Nanna, playing skip bo, and then watching a movie.  I love getting to spend quality time with my family.
