5th Anniversary

Brian and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary during the Labor Day weekend at the Gaylord Texan. We were there a few weeks before with Morgan and had such a good time that we decided to go back, but just the two of us this time.

The first day we had lunch at Esparzas and visited all of the shops and vendors in downtown Grapevine. We returned to the hotel and had drinks in the bar while we waited for our room to be ready. After waiting almost 3 hours, we were finally given a room (with some help from the bar staff, who told the front desk that it was our anniversary). We had dinner reservations for 8pm at the Old Hickory Steakhouse. I know the Executive Chef, Joanne Bondy, so I let her know that we would coming for our anniversary dinner. She hooked us up! We were given Lobster Bisque for a starter and she also sent over the Garde Manger, who showed us their elaborate cheese cart. We chose 3 cheeses, which were then served with honeycomb jelly, pecans, cranberries, and crackers. We both ordered the Texan, which was filet minon and lobster. We also had scalloped potatoes and Habanero Cream Corn. Dinner was completed with an 'off the menu' dessert called the chocolate bomb. It was awesome!




All kinds of 'shit' was sold in this store








Brian had Cake Balls delivered to the room as a nice sweet surprise for the evening.









The next day was spent relaxing in the room and hanging out at Paradise Springs and the hotel pool. Brian had another surprise treat delivered to the room that evening - milk and cookies (yum)!
