Doing it Dallas Style! Day One

*Sorry this is so late!  I had posts saved and the computer crashed!  Get ready for post overload!*

Last Wednesday, hubby and I left the sunshine state totally solo for the first time since the birth of our eldest almost THREE years ago.  Y’all, not even five hours on the runway could rain on my parade!

We were headed to Dallas for the Premier Designs National Rally – 25th anniversary edition!  We caravanned with our old college peeps, Charyl and Rick, and her sister and brother-in-law, Alena and Brian.  We are also known as “the Crazy Jewelry Ladies and their husbands!”  It was so much fun to get away together!

DSC_0603The Crew – after two U-turns on the runway AND a de-boarding.  This was after they “fixed” some broken part twice, only to need to order a new part for the broken part, only to say never mind after an hour.  They didn’t need a broken part…why…they fixed the broken part…again!  WHAT!  I am so glad we listened to the wise counsel of our husbands and did NOT change our tickets!

After finally landing and travelling to Fort Worth, we decided we were all STARVING, seeing as how none of us had eaten a real meal since 7:00 that morning…and did I mentioned we had one pregnant girl and one nursing mom to TWINS?!  Oh, and me?!  We trekked over to feast on some famous Texas Bar-B-Que at Riscky’s!  YUMMO.  That was the best beef brisket I have ever tasted.  Seriously.
