Grapevine...and more

Well, my trip to Grapevine was great.  Aside from work, I got to spend a little bit of time strolling through Downtown Grapevine.  It is a neat area with lots of great little shops and restuarants. 

 I snapped a few pictures of things that I think I might want to copy!  I love all of the "subway" art.

Sunday was a long day at work, with appointments all day long.  Yes, I really do have to work when I travel, I just don't take pictures of that part!  Traditionally, on Monday, at the major conferences that I go to, the lunch entertainment is sponsored by Broadway.  This year's show was great, featuring numbers from Sister Act, Mary Poppins, Ghost, Priscilla, and as seen below, Spiderman.

 The Peanut got to see the Texas Cousins one afternoon.  We met at LegoLand at Grapevine Mills.  The kids had a good time, but the adults agree that it was too pricey for what they have.  They have a couple of rides, a playland and a very cool room with lego sculptures of famous Dallas buildings. 

Probably the high point.... no DEFINITELY the high point of the trip was the event at Texas Stadium.  Yep, that is me with Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.  Not sure what he was trying to say with his hand, but it was pretty exciting to meet him.

Of course, being at Texas Stadium was reason enough to take silly pictures.  I won't bore you with many, but this is one of the fun ones with my friends Amanda and Bennjin.

The last day of the conference had a lunch event sponsored by Nashville.  They brought in Phil Vassar who put on a fantastic show and made Nashville proud!

The final night was an Alice and Wonderland themed event.  We all dressed up as different characters.  I was the White Rabbit.  We had a great time at the event, but were ready to get home!

It was a great trip with lots of fun with friends and some time with family, and of course, some hard work.  As great as it is to go, nothing beats coming home!

Until next time,
