So I am a little behind!  Last Sunday we headed over to my friend Karen's house to visit.  She lives downtown in a cool loft style complex near Neiman Marcus.  Luna loved exploring her large space!  Katie was also visiting with her 2 kids and Luna enjoyed following them around.

On Monday we met some of our play group friends at the Galleria Mall's indoor playground. It's an awesome space with soft padding on the floor and lots of low things for them to climb on.

On Friday we had 2 pool play groups!  We started off at the KC Pool with our play group. We're not members yet (4 year waiting list!) but a few girls in the group are and offered to get us all in as guests!  Luna loved the shaded baby pool and I loved it too because it is covered and we didn't need to put on sunblock!  Unfortunately I was busy in the pool with her and forgot to snap a picture :(
We went home to nap and then we were off to our next pool play date at our friend Hedy's house.  She has 2 cute little twin boys Ben and Bryce who just turned 2 years old.  Penelope also joined us and loved that she had the day off work!  They have an awesome backyard with a nice pool, playground and water table.  We decided on the baby pool which Luna loved and then they played in the water table.

Saturday was a busy day as Todd and I had booked our first overnight trip away from Luna!  Our first trip all the way to downtown Dallas :) Thanks to my mom for babysitting!  We did the whole Hotwire thing and got a 4 star hotel at the Sheraton.  Our room was really nice, a lot like the W's, but it was a huge hotel!  I felt like I was in Vegas with 30 minute wait lines for the check-in, and 2 towers that are 32 floors high. We were in Elevator Group 5 on the top floor and had a great view of the city! 

We decided on eating at Tillman's for an early bday dinner for me.  Yes I went there last year but it is hard to have a bad meal there and they never disappoint us.  We started with the salmon ceviche and then I ordered the roasted chicken with red pepper grits and green beans. Todd got the salmon with black eyed peas. Yum!  The chicken was really good and you can tell it was high quality farm fed.  We then of course got the Chocolate Cookie Tower!!  The whole wait staff sang Happy Birthday to me (embarrassing as the restaurant was super full and crowded still) but it was fun. I LOVE that dessert and so glad it isn't closer to us so I don't get it very often. The cookies are homemade and held together by fresh peanut butter with 2 chocolate chip cookies and 1 large peanut butter cookie and banana ice cream and fudge sauce.   It is amazing to me how that restaurant is still so good and manages to have long waits even when we left at 9:30pm.

We then headed to Henderson Ave. I had not been out there in over 2 years since I was pregnant.  It was nice to have a night out on the town and see what the rest of the world does on a Saturday night at 10pm :)  We went to Bar Celine (now the Gin Room) and then across the street to the Beauty Bar (there's one in NYC and Austin).  My sister was out and so was Pete so they met up with us too.  It was fun to be out and socializing!  We've gone out to restaurants and a couple of bars but usually we go early and are home by 10pm so it was nice to re-live our going out days and not have to rush home to little Luna!  Thanks again to my mom for staying the night and babysitting Luna!!!
