Greg calls it our "Texas style date"

Last weekend we were in Texas for Greg's grandmother's funeral. It was great to see the family, but sad for the reason why we were all together. We flew into Dallas on Friday and back to LA on Sunday - needless to say, it was a fast trip.

Saturday night we stayed in the Dallas area. Usually, we find a hotel where we can get a sitting room seperate from the bedroom - this makes it much easier when putting Carson down for naps and bedtime. We weren't so lucky this time. No worries - we'll improvise!

Carson went to bed at 9pm (we keep him on Pacific Time when we're back in Dallas, therefore he goes to bed later and mommy gets to sleep in....oh, I mean, he sleeps later in the mornings). Greg picked up a pizza from Grimaldi's in Allen (our favorite pizza place) and I went to the store and bought some wine. Keep in mind, since we're traveling, we didn't have a wine opener (I'm sure some of my family and friends reading this are disappointed...haha), so I bought any red wine I could find with a screw top.

So, Greg and I had a romantic dinner - pizza and wine (in plastic hotel cups).....in the hallway! That's right, we sat outside of our hotel room, on the floor and enjoyed our dinner! Actually, we had a really good time! A few people walked by and gave us some funny looks but we simply explained that we had a baby sleeping in the room. They didn't seem to mind.

Obviously eating dinner off the floor of a hotel is not ideal, but we made the best of it and enjoyed our time together. I love creating these types of memories with Greg.
