Dallas Date Night #15 - Taste of Dallas

Having both grown up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex we have done a surpsingly SLIM number of things that everyone apparently does when they come to Dallas.

Sixth Floor Musuem to learn about the day JFK was shot . . . yup . . . never been there.

And it took 26 years to get to the top of this building.

So, when Taste of Dallas came around this summer, we thought, "What better way to discover some of Dallas' best restaurants."

Off we went to the West End, armed with the camera, cash, and a growling stomachs.

Before we could eat, Danny decided to work off calories skiing and hula hooping on the Wii Fit.

He even got a pair of no-slip socks out of the trial!

And, I am embarrassed to say that the first bite of food Danny tasted at "The Taste of Dallas" was a free spamburger. Who even dares try that?

Yes, he downed the whole thing and didn't even feel sick.

While he was in line for Spam, I got in line for a Starbucks sample. Who is the smarter spouse?


We stopped by the misting fans to cool off and listen to the jazz band.

And FINALLY, we got some food. Hoffbrau sausages and some Greek gyros.

We ran into friends from our Village home group.

And then Danny made some new friends. All I know is that one moment he was talking with Tim and then next minute I turn around because Danny's telling me to "take our picture."

Apparantely he stopped them on the street and asked for a picture. I've stopped trying to figure out my husband. He is a complete anomaly.

Booths and games were set up underneath Woodall Rogers Freeway.

For desert: Tiger's Blood sno cones. We didn't actually have the $3.00 that they cost. But that didn't stop Danny. He simply asked if they would take $2.00 for a sno cone. They said, "yes" and he was a happy camper.
I'll let you stare at this picture until you get it.
