Dallas Detour…

We decided to spend the next day in Dallas as opposed to Baton Rouge. We had been told by our hotel in Baton Rouge that the city was flooded, there was no power and a lot of the roads had heavy traffic. This made us make a very quick decision that Dallas would be more fun.

The decision to go to Dallas instead of Baton Rouge was a very easy decision to make, while it meant a longer drive time the day before, it meant that we could make it to the Texas festival with about half of the drive time the following day. Plus I had been to Dallas multiple times for work and I absolutely LOVE that city.

Although firstly I think Tyler needs to explain our breakfast experience at the Waffle House…

As for the breakfast the day before I figured I would show Robyn true southern redneck culture… so I took her to a Waffle House… any one who has ever been to one of these knows immediately what I am talking about, to the rest of you the best way I can describe it is a small diner, with cheap breakfast food, and if they attract customers that have a full set of teeth or haven’t served some sort of prison term they are lucky. Ironically the food is great though, and it makes for good people watching J

In Dallas we partied like cowboys. We went to a dance hall (Red River) where everyone wears cowboy boots and cute dresses. There is a mechanical bull that you can ride and there is a dance floor that loops around the bar, so couple or varying degrees of skill level dance the night away.

We stayed in a lovely place in Dallas, where we able to actually get a good night’s rest and a wonderful shower. Yah for Dallas!

I think the highlight of our Dallas trip was the red river dance hall, being a country music fan I absolutely loved this place, I was also excited to see Robyn enjoyed it and even took a turn on the mechanical bull. We tried our best to Texas two step, we failed, and we laughed and had a good night.
