We went on our annual Fall Break Road Trip to the "Big D" - that is Dallas.
It was Owen's first time to join us since he was a baby. As I feared, he didn't nap for three days straight! However, he hung in there & brought some energetic entertainment to the trip!
First Stop: Allen Outlet ShopsKids talked me into buying them a white chocolate & Butterfinger covered Marshmallow Stick.
Thursday Night Event: Dinner with my best friend from college Kate & her precious family.
