New Year's Trip

For this New Year's holiday, we took a trip up to Ft. Worth (by way of Dallas) to visit Bryan - a good friend of Ted's - and his girlfriend, Amy. On the way up, we were able to stop in Dallas and register for a few baby items at Babies R Us. We also stopped in at our favorite dive, the San Francisco Rose (oh, how we miss Dallas).

In Ft. Worth, we wandered around downtown with Bryan and Amy. Bryan's apartment is right on the edge of downtown and within walking distance from restaurants, shops, and a movie theater. We enjoyed a BBQ dinner that first night and shared our "big news" with them. They, of course, are very excited, and Bryan agreed to be the baby's godfather.

On New Year's Eve, we walked around the Kimbell Art Museum. Later, we headed over to Texas Wesleyan School of Law. Across the street from the campus is the Ft. Worth Water Gardens, otherwise known as a huge lawsuit waiting to happen (steep, wet steps without railing and a ridiculous amount of water make for a bad combination). Later that night, we went downtown to a club where we had reservations and rang in the New Year.

On New Year's Day, we had brunch with Bryan's parents and family and spend the rest of the day relaxing. Friday, we packed up and headed back home to Waco. We had lots of fun on our mini vacation.
