Get-Away Weekend

Mike & I continued the celebration of our 3 year wedding anniversary this weekend. We took a short road trip (just over an hour) to Grapevine, TX.

We stopped at a few wineries on our way since it is...Grapevine, TX. :o)

Cross Timbers Winery




This is where the bottle the wine. Pretty interesting.

Wine Word Wall.

After these few stops we headed to the Gaylord Hotel. It was so beautiful. The service was extraordinary and our room was amazing! We had a Suite that had a living room, a conference room, a few TVs and a balcony that overlooked the 4-acre indoor 'river-walk' atrium. It was wonderful!!!



We walked around, took pictures, tasted more wine...

Mike at the River Walk

This is an actual PERSON. She was apparently on stilts and was dressed as 'grapevines'!

Old Hickory Wine Bar...


We had reservations at the fine dining restaurant Old Hickory Steakhouse. It was delicious. I got salmon and Mike got the delicious filet. They surprised us with berry-topped creme brulee for dessert.


After dinner we headed to the Glass Cactus--a night club on the hotel's property. Geeez, we haven't been to a night club in FOREVER. It definitely wasn't our 'scene' but it was definitely a fun people-watching spot...so we made the best of it while we listened to poppy music. Ha!

We had such an amazing weekend. The hotel really made it feel like we weren't in Dallas...it was a nice get-away weekend! Cheers to many more anniversaries with my wonderful husband!!
