We coordinated our flights pretty well so two of us flew into Dallas Love and the other 2 flew into DFW. Last fall I had rented a 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath apartment which was actually part of the Statler Hotel and we were excited to see it!
Glenn and I drove up to Denver on Tuesday and it just so happened that Evan was having a music concert that night - he was one of a few chosen to represent his school at a special arts evening! There were lots of songs, bands playing and a couple of great skits - so glad we got to enjoy it!
Wed. morning we were up bright and early to head to the airport! Glenn was just going to drop me off and go ice fishing! Check out the beautiful sunrise that greeted us!
I flew Southwest this time and was duly impressed with it as I usually fly Frontier! It was a nice uneventful flight and I enjoyed flying into Dallas Love as it's a LOT smaller than DFW! I had a couple of hours to wait until Karen arrived so did a lot of walking and had some great chicken salad at a restaurant!
After Karen arrived, her brother (who lives there in Dallas) picked us up! He was also kind enough to stop at a grocery store so we could get some snacks, breakfast items and wine before dropping us at our place!
We were all pleased with the security of the apartment - treated like a VRBO, you pick up your keys through a locked system and must use your key to even access the elevator! Even though our place had a couple of small issues, it was great to have a large space to hang out and the kitchen was a bonus!
After settling in, Karen and I went for a walk to scout out some local restaurants - take a look at this awesome piece of art we walked by!
We ended up at a Mexican restaurant where we enjoyed some wine and appetizers - the girls were riding the light rail which stopped only a couple blocks from this restaurant so they joined us - what a great reunion!!
We talked late into the night to catch up with one another and were excited to begin the next 3 days in Dallas!

Sounds like a really fun time - can't wait to hear all about it.
That eye is really cool! Hope the problems at the apartment weren't to much trouble.
