We wanted to go to the water park, or to six flags to carry on our anniversary celebration on Saturday, but we slept in and they both looked too crowded when we drove by. We decided to make a trip into the big city. I just have to say, it was not at all what I was expecting. I am so glad we do not live in Dallas, bc I discovered how ghetto it is on our visit Saturday. It was fun to experience for one afternoon. Not planning on going back. lol.
I liked all the big buildings, and there super crazy freeways. They have like four freeway bridges stacked on top of each other. I snapped these pictures (below) while we were driving through the city. I can't wait to get a NEW CAMERA. We are just waiting to earn a few more points to get the one we really want. We could just buy it b/c we have the money, but we want to take advantage of the reward points. Its fun taking pics on the droid, but I miss the quality of a nice camera. Still can't believe mine got stolen.
We drove around for a bit just looking at the buildings. Then, Adam realized how close his first area of his mission was: literally across the freeway bridge. He took me around his area. He showed me his first apartment. You can tell the missionaries still live there, b/c there is a picture of Christ in the window.
Adam had me try out the taco place just down the street from this apartment. He and his companion use to walk here and get tacos often on the mish.
Look how scared I am. You would be too if you were trying Lengua for the first time. I took one tiny bite, and did not like it at all. I will probably never eat it again :/ I stuck to the barbacoa
After lunch we headed across the bridge back into the city. We parked and walked over to what should have been there underground mall, and discovered it was closed! Not only closed, but they no longer have shops. It is just full of restaurants down there, and is only open during the week. LAME!
We then ventured down the street to where JFK was shot. A big tourist spot. Some guy almost got hit b/c he was dumb enough to stand in the middle of the road, just to get a picture, while there was oncoming traffic.
You can see the building the shooter was in best in this picture. It was on the 6th floor. We decided to go to the Galleria mall after. This mall was really neat. It has an ice skating rink inside and is 4 stories! I was a happy girl :)
The Art of Can was going on while we were there. All these things are made out of Redbull cans. Pretty cool.
Adam helped me find a cute new shirt and belt. I love getting stuff he likes to see me in.
Oh, and our movers came Friday. It's been a week now that we have had all our stuff.
I was happy to start cooking again!
The first two things I made once we got all our stuff were puff pancakes for brunch and orange pineapple chicken for dinner. This time, I was really craving a baked potato with it instead of rice. We are almost settled in. Everything is put away that can be! We need to buy an office desk, and a bedroom set. The drawers we already have are full and are going in the closest b/c I want black furniture instead of white. I have found a few bedroom sets I like, and a couple office desks. I'll see what Adam thinks when he gets home tomorrow. I'll take pictures soon. Every room is decorated besides our bedroom. I do want to add a few more things to the living room, so mom hold on just a little while longer okay! I know the anticipation is killing you :oP
