Weekend Getaway!

We took a mini vacation this past weekend before our sweet Lily arrives and before all the fall events kick off at church. We left for Southlake Town Square Thursday afternoon and returned to real life late Saturday night. Southlake Town Square is near Grapevine, so it's not a far drive but once you're there, you feel like you're far away from everything! We came to this place for our 1yr Anniversary which was almost two years ago and fell in love with the place so we went back for our mini vacation and had an amazing time!

Here is the Hilton Southlake where we stayed. Our room was one of the balcony rooms under the Hilton sign, so we had a beautiful view of the Town Square! Yes, the picture is crooked on purpose! Julie got to play with her new camera while we were on our trip...so hope you enjoy the pics!


Thursday night dinner was at Taco Diner...Yummo!


Yes, we are "those" people that take pictures of our food if it's picture worthy! If you know us well, this doesn't surprise you! Carter had some amazing pork tacos.


Harkins Theatre is the movie theatre in the Town Square, this picture was taken from our balcony. Thursday night we saw G.I. Joe and Friday night we saw Julie & Julia...both awesome movies!!

Friday we had breakfast and then headed to the Terrace Retreat Spa in our hotel. After several hours of pampering there we headed to lunch and then back to the room for a nap! What a day!

We also did some shopping on our little stay...of course mostly for Lily!! We visited the cutest baby stores...Baby Bliss and Janie & Jack and we had to go through the huge Anthropology...love it! We laughed when we saw this store...Lilly...because when we were here two years ago, we were eating lunch at Brio and looked across the street and saw this store and Julie said "Lilly...I like that name a lot!" Well...here we are two years later having our very own Lily...we just took out one of the l's!

Friday night we ate at Brio...an Italian restaurant that we really like! We have only eaten there one other time, and it was on our last visit to Southlake, so this is our little place to go when we visit! No food pictures...we were too hungry, the food didn't last long enough for a picture!

Saturday was spent at the pool and then we headed home! We are so thankful we were able to get away for a few days!
