Weekend in Dallas

Chris and I went to Dallas Friday afternoon and spent the night and came back home Saturday evening. We had so much fun. Friday aternoon when we arrived, we stopped and checked in at our hotel and then went shopping at the mall and to dinner. The mall's there are insane. They are crazy big and the mall we went to had an ice skating rink in it. Saturday morning, we woke up and went to breakfast and then went to Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum as well as the Palace of Wax Museum. They were both so fun and interesting. Later that afternoon, we went to a Medieval Times Dinner/Show. We got to watch the knights put on a show full of jousting and sword fighting and we had dinner. We had to eat with our hands, (you are not given any eating utensils). It was so different, but so much fun. We got soup, garlic bread, chicken, ribs, a baked potato, and a pastry dessert. Here are just some of the many pictures we took. Hope you enjoy them.

Check out this picture with the guy with the horn in his head and look real close at the other guy, he has two pupils in his eyes. Gross!


This guy just has some crazy bug eyes!


Me walking across a bed of coals :)


Chris going through a supposed earthquake, it felt just like one


The Medieval Times Castle (above). Below are a bunch of pictures of the show...when you arrive at the show, you are assigned a knight to cheer for; Chris and I cheered for the black and white knight. I was lucky enough to be thrown a flower by him during the show. Chris gave me a bad time about it. :)













Okay, Chris wants me to tell the story of why he gave me a bad time about the flower, so here it goes. The knight through a few flowers to girls that would cheer real loud for him when he would come by. He was coming by with the flowers in his hand and Chris said, "You have to yell real loud for him so he will throw you one"...just then, he came to our section and I smiled at him and he threw the flower right to me and then rode off. Chris said, "Okay, I guess that will work, you can just smile at him and he will throw you a flower." It was kind of funny since it seriously wasn't even a second from the time he said to yell loud from the time I got a flower. :)

And last, but not least, here are some pictures of the cool buildings in Dallas that we took on our way back home.
