Our Mini-Babymoon!

We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day Weekend!  We took advantage of our three-day weekend and headed to Fort Worth for a mini-babymoon!  I'm not supposed to be traveling, but I figured that if I really went into labor (ironically during Labor Day Weekend), we would be able to make the 45 minute drive to the hospital with no problem.  Whew, we didn't have test out that theory though. 

We headed out to Fort Worth on Sunday morning and went to a Sunday brunch at Lambert's in Fort Worth.  Todd had won a gift card at a golf tournament, so we decided to check it out.  As we were driving there, we thought the area looked a little suspect, so we started to worry.  When we pulled up, there was valet parking which made us a little nervous since neither one of us were dressed up.  We were in Fort Worth people, not Dallas.  I wouldn't have thought twice about valet in Dallas and not dressing up, but we just didn't know what to expect from Fort Worth.  Luckily, people in Fort Worth are pretty casual, and we fit right in.  The food was great, and I would definitely recommend the Sunday brunch to anyone in the area.  Make sure you get the Brioche French Toast and Red Velvet Cake!

Then we checked into the Omni and headed to the pool to enjoy the nice 90 degree weather with a breeze.  Todd was even nice enough to get me some virgin fruity drinks to make me feel like I was having a fun cocktail by the pool.  My fave was the virgin blackberry mojito.  This was my view for 6 hours.

Sorry, no shots of me in a maternity swimsuit!  After our pool time, we headed to dinner at Ruth's Chris.  At first I thought that this dinner was more for Todd than for me, since I have not been able to eat big pieces of meat during my pregnancy.  Surprisingly, I had no problem enjoying my medium rare filet.  Todd teased me with his Caribbean Lobster on top of his filet.  Sucks to be allergic to shellfish.  I also enjoyed a glass of yummy Chilean wine.  After our big meal, we were ready to crash.  You know you're old when you get back to a hotel at 10pm ready to turn in and see bunch of young girls dressed up to go out and your husband says, "Wow those girls have really short skirts on."

It was so nice to be able to sleep in this morning since Coco wasn't there to wake us up.  We then walked around Sundance Square and got a bite to eat.  It was dead in downtown Fort Worth since it was Labor Day and no one was working, but it was nice to take a nice stroll in the 80 degree weather.  We talked about going to the Botanical Gardens, but then we got lazy and decided to come home and rest instead.

Fort Worth was definitely a nice quick getaway.  I think we'll do that again someday!
