the big D

Rhone and I weren't even home for a week from Idaho before we left for another trip. Last weekend we had the chance to meet up with Ben's parents and sister in Dallas. The drive turned out to be a little longer than we thought (especially because of traffic), but it was definitely worth the trip to see family. We stayed at a fun, modern hotel called "aloft" we really liked it (thank you hotels.com) and we visited a few sites around town. Without further ado here are the pictures.

Sandy and me sampling the fresh produce at the Dallas farmers market (Ben is opposed to free samples for sanitary reasons- but he sure did miss out)

We ate lunch at Chipotle, so here's Grandmommy and our little Rhoneburrito in the delivery scooter.

Saturday afternoon we visited the Nasher Sculpture Center. Some of the pieces were really cool and well others just weren't my taste. Rhone has officially seen (0k rolled past) a Picasso.

Here we are in front of one of the fountains in the garden area

This is one of my favorite sculptures from the center. It is titled Pregnant Woman (La femme enceinte) by Pablo Picasso. He was hoping it would inspire his lady to have another child with him. It didn't work though. It made me glad that Rhone was in the stroller and no longer in my tummy.

We are so blessed that Rhone puts up with all of our traveling. The only thing he doesn't like is being in his car seat for too long. He seems to enjoy that he gets a whole queen bed to himself at the hotels and the extra love and attention from family. He also seemed to like his first swimming adventure. Thanks for being such a trooper Rhone!

Rhone just before we hit the pool, we wanted to get one smiling picture of him in his suit.

Since it wasn't a very warm day or pool, we expected Rhone to get a little wet and then cry and he'd be done with swimming, but he was a good sport. He splashed and kicked and even spent a little time on his tummy. He never cried or fussed. Oh and you can see all those cute rolls with his shirt off.
