First Year Celebration!

To have and to hold, in sickness and in health. In love and in laughter! Well, it is evident that we love each other and luckily we are healthy and not worrying about the "in sick" portion. So we chose to expand the "in laughter" clause of our marriage! For our FIRST Anniversary we found a quaint bed and breakfast in Fort Worth's Sundance Square. Etta's Place was the perfect little get-a-way. We stayed in "Laura's Room" with their Lily Package. LOL!! Basically we got to enjoy a king size bed, champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and a couple's massage in our room. The couple's massage was the perfect way to start the get-a-way! Our room was on the third floor at the corner of the building, practically right above Four Day Weekend. I couldn't have planned it better if I knew where these places actually were. Mom and Dad watched our little dog for us, which was a huge help. But we did miss the little Chunk all weekend.




Anyway. the Bed and Breakfast was great. The room was nice and the food was tasty. After our massages we grabbed the wine and headed to Nonna Tata for some dinner. This is a little hole in the wall. Literally! I think our living room and kitchen are the same size as this entire restaurant! Poor Damon appologized several times to the guy behind him for bumping him during dinner. This little, hidden place was suggested to use by a friend and I enjoyed it, I think Damon is still out on it. Close your eyes and picture with me, a small intimate setting where you are sipping wine and smelling fresh cooked italian foods. There is quite conversation going on and the love of your life is sitting across from you. How is that not a great dinner?



Saturday we went to the Fort Worth Science Museum and toured the Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibit. That man was a genius! We never knew that he influenced or invented so many things! This man made bridges for the armies, different types of war machines to flying machines and pulley systems. Not to mention all of the paintings. I don't know how the man found all of the time and inspiration. It is easy to say that our society would not be the same without that man's ingenious inventions. From there we got to go to the Amon Carter Museum and enjoyed some of the paintings there. The weather was wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better day to walk around.





Damon planned dinner for Saturday, Pirana's Sushi! Oh WoW! This was wonderful! We stuffed ourselves and were contemplating ordering another Sexy Roll just to have that taste in our mouth! I think it was probably one of my favorite rolls that I have ever eaten! After waddling out of Pirana's we strolled around the square for little while and then found our way to Four Day Weekend. This place is a scream! If you have never been you have to go. I don't think I have heard Damon laugh that much in a pretty good while. They had skits from their version of Cops to Jaws showing up at the Zoo.





After breakfast in bed on Sunday we packed our stuff. Neither of us wanted the wonderful time to end but sadly all good things must come to an end. We tried to stretch the weekend out with a movie and fireworks at The Highlands. It was nice to come home though to a surprise. My Mom dropped our little chewer off and cleaned on the house for us! She is the best!


So to end this post I would like to leave you with a quote from Four Day Weekend, "There are two qualifications to be a Fort Worth Policeman. First, you have to be a bad ass! Second, you have to be able to ride a bike. It is hard work being a bike cop. Do you know how fast you have to petal to pull someone over for speeding?!"
