Trinity Groves in Dallas, Texas

The last day of our Walnut Family Reunion, our group headed to the Trinity Groves in Dallas, Texas.

Trinity Groves is a 15-acre space that hosts exciting restaurants and shops - each one more unique than the last.

For brunch, we settled into a (large) corner booth at L U C K Dallas. 

Starting the day off with Beermosa's for good measure!

EH and I both decided on Eggs Benedict - piled high with pastrami. Delicious! 

Each restaurant has it's own unique patio space - each styled to the theme of the restaurant. If we hadn't been gearing up to head back to Arkansas I would have loved to stretch out and have a cocktail on each patio. Well, maybe not each!

We couldn't leave without stopping into a few shops - first Kate Weiser Chocolate. Their truffles were beautiful works of art. And delicious too! Even their packaging was beautiful.

Up next was the Cake Bar!

The Cake Bar was everything a cake shop should be - beautiful menu, beautiful cakes, and friendly staff. We took home a slice of German Chocolate Cake for our friend S who picked up Moose from the boarder and it received rave reviews!

So whether day or night, Trinity Groves has something for everyone. I really hope we can go back next time and have a cocktail! Or just another visit back with these two cuties. :)

Walnut Family Reunion 2015

Last weekend we journeyed to Dallas for our 2015 Walnut Family Reunion. Walnut is the endearing term EH's Dad's side of the Family has given themselves - the original story varies but the overall idea is we're all nuts! In the best way, of course. :)

I started out the weekend with Moscow Mules - but made with grapefruit vodka instead of the usual vodka. So crisp and refreshing! I plan on recreating this soon!

True to his nickname, EH quickly found toys meant to occupy the kiddos and built himself a tiny house.

We started out the long weekend just dipping our feet into the pool. I love these sweet moments with our Nieces! Temporary aquatic tattoos were the accessory of the weekend.

Little Niece enjoyed the flamingo drink holders too! She loved picking things up and then giving them to you - sweet girl!

Ready to dive in! Not quite yet though! We never let her past our fingertips.

The flamingo cup holders were so cute! I was gifted one as a souvenir and I already plan to take him any time I go near water. Minus the shower. Maybe.

The next day we actually spent time in the pool. H loved the shallow end of the pool to show off her dance skills! I can't get over B's cute Half Pint shirt. She won't be a Half Pint for long!

After our Friday pool day, we all piled into multiple cars and headed to Klyde Warren Park. Built over the recessed Woodall Rogers Freeway, it's a huge green space that has splash parks, modern playgrounds, wide greens pace capable of everything from kids running around to large stages for concerts. Plus, an entire row of food trucks! 

Everything from grilled cheese, pizza, Mexican, fried fish...and yea, Sushi! With our entire group we tried a little bit of everything.

Because EH and I both were terribly sunburnt, we were grateful that our adventure to the food truck was overcast the majority of the time. We all ended the day with sno-cones and ice-cream (Guiness Chip for us - something we want to try and recreate!) and then headed back shortly before some rain showers.

We had two more days to our Family Reunion but I will update on those next!
