So this Saturday we went to Dallas. Mostly cos Jose had to pick up an amp he bought a month before. We decided to make the trip worthwhile and do something fun.

We picked up my friend Carrie and stopped at sonic to get some food, we waited and waited and everyone around us was getting their food and driving off. So we eventually drove around to the drive thru and explained what happened and ended up getting our entire meal free! It was pretty nice.

I'm a creature of habit. Mainly because when I do finally try something new, its terrible. 

When I try a new dish at a restaurant it's nasty. When I take a different route, I get lost. Something always happens. So I get super nervous with trying new things. 

Well I had seen sooo many people posting photos of Pho and I had to have it. 

This was the same day we went to the Perot Museum (you can find that post here)!

Terrible photo from the car.

I got the chicken noodle, Jose got the beef noodle, and Carrie got the seafood noodle. It was ah-mazing. I can't wait to go back! Not to mention, the boba. *insert heart eyes emoji*

The photos themselves aren't beautiful, I was more worried about enjoying my food, honestly!
We went to Pho Pasteur, it was super cute and very authentic feeling. We obviously used chopsticks and the menu was in Vietnamese.

After Pho Pasteur we went to guitar center! So Jose could pick up his amp.

You can see the clouds behind the building in this photo! Luckily we just missed the rain as we were heading home.
I am personally not the first to volunteer to drive in Dallas. It scares me and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm the type of driver other people have to watch out for haha. But I sure do love staring out the window while Jose drives.

Hope you guys have a good Wednesday!

Perot Museum!

So I decided to turn this little Dallas trip into two sections. One of nothing but photos from going to Perot and the other one will be from the rest of our day in Dallas! 

This museum was...AMAZING. We had so much fun! 

I haven't been to a museum since like middle school and I was beyond excited. The trip was supposed to be for Olivia...but I think us adults were way more excited. 

As soon as we got there they had these little instruments outside.

We decided it would be best to let Olivia run around in the kids exhibit before we went to the exhibits we wanted to go to. 

In her exhibit they had so many cute little sections. She got to climb the Dallas skyline, go up and down stairs by herself, pretend she was camping, color on a chalk table, pretend to grocery shop, and honestly just run around like she didn't have anyone chasing after her. 

This was taken in the tent.

The smallest park ranger you ever did see!

This is the chalk table!

We took a shameless family bathroom selfie.

The next exhibit was the dinosaur!

After running around little Liv took a nap and we got to run around the rest of the museum!

Dinos!

Another selfie.

We were laughing incredibly hard because the first panoramic photo that Jose took made us look a little...funny hahah. You can only imagine.

These gems were so mesmerizing. I honestly just couldn't stop thinking about how much the amethyst must have cost.

 My lovely husband got a photo of me snapping a photo with my new film camera!

You guys know I had to get a photo of mushrooms!

By this time the museum was starting to close so we decided to go outside!

So...as soon as we got to the museum, we passed this little area and we immediately knew Olivia would have a blast. 

I promise we tried to keep her from going crazy...but we couldn't keep this sweet girl from having the time of her life.

Don't worry, we packed extra clothes for her and her hair dried up right away!

There are about 50 more photos from this trip but I like to keep those just for myself. >:)

It's hard to enjoy things while also capturing every moment. And I'm totally up for every challenge I get. I didn't get very many photos of each exhibit cos of the lens I brought(50mm) so that's why most of these are close ups of us hahah. Anyways, hope you enjoyed these photos of us enjoying the museum! 

The middle of nowhere, Texas.

There are about 1,000 towns in Texas that may as well have that name.

We went to visit my Bff and Olivia's Godmother, Carrie!

She also runs Mermaid Missionary!

We went and had burgers and played outside with our girl, and came back in to play Wii.

Carrie lives outside of Tyler, but not too far. I love going and visiting her, and wouldn't mind doing it more often. I love being out in the ~country~ every once in a while.

I love her backyard.

Most of these photos are insanely blurry. We were having too much fun.

I grabbed Olivia and swung her as if she were kicking the ball.

Olivia discovered a cool new trick. 

Olivia and Carrie!

I will be the first to admit a sunset picture annoys the shit out of me. They all look the same and if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate a beautiful sunset when I see one. I just don't care to see pictures of them. Welp, here's the first sunset picture I've ever taken with this camera. And a perfect photo to end this post.

I hope everyone's week is going well. We're taking Olivia to the Perot Museum on Saturday, I can't wait!

Mermaid Grave Finds!

My bff, Carrie, and I went thrifting on Valentine's Day. We went to a cute little indoor flea market in Whitehouse, about 15 minutes from Tyler.

(You can find Carrie's blog here.)

The little woman that owned the buildings had an insane amount of cups, plates, and teapots.

Definitely my favorite little area in the entire building!

This is the restroom.

Look at all of these state plates!

Hi!

I hope you guys have an awesome weekend, and do tons of thrifting if you can!
