Memorial Day Weekend

This year, Andy got Friday and Monday off for Memorial Day weekend.  Since we're going to be going to Utah so soon, we decided to spend the weekend here in Dallas doing some of the things we've put off doing.  I'm definitely glad we did!  Despite Isaac teething and having a slight fever as a result, we had a lot of fun!  It was the perfect amount of relaxing and doing things!

One of the things we've been wanting to do since getting here is go out for BBQ.  Since most good BBQ places are only open during lunch it makes it a little hard for us to go.  So Friday we headed down to Mike Anderson's BBQ.  It was everything I had dreamed about!  So moist and delicious!  I forced myself to eat everything on my plate...and then ate a small ice cream cone (free ice cream is the best end to any meal)!

Polish sausage, turkey breast, brisket,  fries, and peach cobbler

Isaac's favorite part of the meal.

On Saturday we headed down to the Perot museum.  I've been wanting to go ever since seeing how much fun my friend Kristin has taking her boys there and I'm so glad we did!  It's amazing!  Andy and I are definitely excited to go just the two of us sometime.

We literally had to drag Isaac away from this truck multiple times so other kids could play on it.  He LOVED it!

Monday morning we met up with our good friends who live in our complex for some swimming and a little cook out.  Unfortunately it was a little chilly for swimming, but that didn't stop the kids (and therefore the dads)!  It was perfect weather though for blowing bubbles and hanging out next to the pool.

During the weekend Andy also finished our dressers!  Last July we bought a pair of Ikea Rast dressers to use as our nightstands with every intention of painting them and fancying them up a bit, but they sat next to our bed for 10 months before we finished them.  When I went up to Kansas at the beginning of May, he took the chance at an Isaac free apartment to work on them.  Unfortunately rainy weather made it take quite a bit longer than we anticipated (oh how we can't wait to have a garage!). We love them though!  They make our room look so much better!

Overall it was a pretty awesome weekend!  Isaac and I loved having Andy home for 4 days.  It was definitely a nice little break while we wait to go on vacation.
