Even though I love restaurant week, I’ve had some bad experiences with it in the past – poor service, limited menu, or just blah food. When I heard about it in Dallas, I quickly went to OpenTable, but all the restaurants I wanted to try were booked. So after reading some reviews, I picked Salum. I probably wouldn’t have picked it otherwise, so I’m happy that I stumbled upon it! The weather has been perfect for strolling around the neighborhood!…

-Remember when I said it didn’t feel that hot here because of the humidity? Yeah, that was a cold front and it’s so freakin hot. Luckily, we had another come through yesterday and it feels wonderful again. Matt and I checked out the arboretum today, which is so beautiful! -Loved how lush and green everything is. -Happy hours around here are amazing. -I finished season one of Revenge yesterday. It was soooo good, but sure gives me the creeps. -I…
Hi Monday, I had a jam-packed weekend here in Dallas – so many fun things to see and eat! Thursday evening, we checked out the Sandbar Cantina for a friend’s birthday party. I was pretty excited to see this beach volleyball bar, as it was covered in white sand and seemed like a cool concept just outside of downtown. It was definitely a neat spot, although most of the volleyball courts were busy with league matches, so it doesn’t seem…
My absolute favorite part about moving to a new city is the exploration phase! Matt and I have been taking long walks at night, just strolling through the neighborhood and taking notes on all the cute places to eat and drink. We’ve been focusing on buying groceries and cooking at home during the week, but we ventured into the Knox-Henderson neighborhood on Friday for dinner at Fireside Pies. It was miserably hot, but there was no wait on the patio,…
Here’s the last of my honeymoon posts – if you missed the first two, there’s a recap of Greece and the cruise. Now that I’m back to regular life, I’m so sad it’s all over! — Matt and I spent four nights in Italy total – two nights in Positano along the Amalfi Coast before our cruise (which departed from Rome) and two nights in Venice after our cruise. The cruise also docked in Venice overnight, so we got three…
Hello from the big D! I’ve been in Dallas for a week now, and it finally feels like home. This is the first time I’ve moved with lots of furniture, and it took a long time to get everything arranged and unpacked. I’m so ready to stay in one place for a little while! Of course, I’ve already had some lovely meals – Matt and I drove to Dallas in my car and stopped in Knoxville, TN on the first…
The internet is finally up and running here in Dallas, so I’m going to pick up where I left off with the honeymoon details. One day I’ll resume regular posts:) Matt and I chose to extend our honeymoon with a cruise so that we could see a bunch of places without the hassle of packing up and changing hotels all the time. The Greece portion was about pure relaxation, and the cruise was about seeing a lot in a small…
We’re officially en route to Knoxville, Tennessee! On my last night in NC, I got to attend the lovely wedding of my good friend Brooke at the Carolina Inn in Chapel HIll. It was a nice evening for an outdoor ceremony because the sun had retreated behind the clouds. I loved that champagne was served right before the ceremony because we all mingled and got the party started before the ceremony:) Brooke looked gorgeous and you could tell that…
Hello! I’m back at my parents’ house for a few days because I have a wedding to attend! But on Sunday, we’ll be making the trek to Dallas to resume real life. So about that honeymoon…I guess you guys want details! I apologize for dumping so many photos on you, but I just didn’t want to waste precious time typing posts on the tablet. I actually had a terrible time trying to get the mini SD card to work with…
