12 Year Anniversary

Kerry and I went last weekend to the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine to celebrate our 12 year anniversary...We wanted to do something easy and relaxing, but still be close enough to home...So this was the perfect getaway...I don't think Kerry was too excited initially but really enjoyed himself...He wanted to go back this weekend--haha!!...And he mentioned doing this yearly for sure...I have to agree b/c we had a wonderful time together...
We headed down Saturday around lunch after we dropped the kids off at my mom's house...We arrived and checked in and headed straight to the pool where we sat at the bar and have a few drinks...The pool was packed so we only got in a little and it was freezing!!...I didn't even make it off the steps:)

 We went back to the room and changed for dinner...We ate at the mexican restaurant...Super good...Then went back to the pool bar to have a drink and watch the basketball game...Then headed of the Texan Station to watch more basketball...Kerry was never not hungry the entire time and he ordered more food!...Needless to say we were stuffed when we went to bed that night...

The next morning we got up and had breakfast in our room...Got ready for the waterpark and headed over there before lunch...Kerry rented us a little cabana area which was nice and comfy...We had our own waitress that we just buzzed when we needed her...She brought us all our drinks and food...Man, even the pool food was great...We ate so much all weekend!!
We laid around all day...We did get in the water off and on...
But it was just nice hanging out!!

We had our anniversary dinner reservations at the Old Hickory Steakhouse at 6:00...So we got ready and headed to dinner....Puss N Boots greeted us as we took an elevator...The kids got a kick out of this pic when I texted it to them:)
I'm not a steak eater, so I got an ahi tuna appetizer and a caesar salad....
Kerry had been looking forward to eating lamb for days now, so he was super pumped...And he said it was excellent...We also shared a big thing of asparagus and ate it all!!
Our waiter surprised us with a very yummy chocolate dessert....
We walked around to work some of the food off--haha!
Yes, Kerry took a stupid picture of me....
Then we headed back over to the Mexican restaurant later for a drink and their to die for sopapillas...We had been thinking about them ever since dinner the night before!
Seriously, we did not want to go home on Monday after we finished breakfast...But we managed to get on the road and take a nice nap in our own bed before we picked up the kiddos from school...Can't wait to go back for sure...Happy 12th Anniversary to Us!!
