This trip could be considered a solo vacation for me because Brad was actually at a training for work the entire time and I was on my own for almost everyday. I wanted to take the opportunity (and company paid hotel!) to go check out a new city. This was right before Christmas and even though it was Texas we actually had pretty cold weather and it even snowed one of the days. The first day I worked hard to navigate the complicated DART train/bus system to get into the city. I checked out the Bishop Arts District and Deep Ellum where there were plenty of cool shops and great BBQ at Lockhart's. As usual everywhere I go, I need to befriend the cats. That night after a long day jumping on and off various buses and trains we were able to have dinner together at Urban Crust. The following day I went into the thick of the city to check out the major museums. I saw the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Asian Art Museum. At this point I was a pro at the public transportation. I snapped a picture whizzing by the square where Kennedy was killed and I took some time to walk around the city. The next day I borrowed the rental car to take the two-hour drive down to Waco to see Chip and Joanna's Silos and Magnolia Market. The store and Waco were both really cool, but I was wishing I wasn't alone walking around, there were just so many neat things to see.
