Prepare for picture overload ahead. A few weeks ago when my BFF and her family were in town we visited the Grapevine aquarium. It’s right across from Lego Land. If you are planning a trip to the city of Grapevine/DFW area I highly recommend the Grapevine Sea Life Aquarium. It was very kid friendly and Connor just LOVED seeing all the sea life up close. He has been talking about it for weeks.
About to walk into the aquarium. The line was very organized and went pretty quick!
Connor and Daddy checking out all the fish
There were so many cool nooks & crannies to explore 
My favorite: The Sea Turtles
Connor getting a fun view inside the fish tank, we shall call him “Bubble Boy!”
Surrounded by water on all sides! Even the floor!
Eeek! SHARKS….
Hello there Mr. Sting Ray
Doesn’t he look so friendly?
Seahorses
Jellyfish that changed colors with the lights
Catfish 🙂
You southern folk know what I’m talking about

We had the best time at the Grapevine Aquarium. Isn’t all that sea life amazing!!!When you reach the end there’s an awesome play area for the kiddos too! Connor got to touch a starfish and his favorite thing was the sharks and the stingrays.

I was thrilled to find out they are the “official bacon for the Dallas Cowboys”. I now live in the DFW area and it’s nice to have a little feeling of home with me here. If you’ve never tried 
So last night for dinner I made one of our household favorites. The ultimate BLT. I fried up some Petit Jean Hickory Smoked Bacon…..
Sizzle…sizzle…pop…pop!!!
The only thing I wish I had to add was avacado….so YUM on BLTs.
Extra crispy bacon is how we like it in our house
Okay now there it is…and if you aren’t hungry yet, then something is the matter with you!

My new 
My co-workers took me to lunch yesterday for my birthday….they are so precious! So blessed.
Had such a good time in AR visiting with my BFF’s since 6th grade….LOVE THEM. I miss you girls so much!
Here are all the new DFW locations
When we got there we met up with such a sweet gals from Chicago. It was funny because I don’t think they were used to the hot Texas weather. It’s iced coffee all the way for me! 
Connor wanted green coffee….so he had the mint chocolate chip mocha
From left to right: S’mores Mocha, Caramel Pretzel Mocha, Mint Chocolate Chip Mocha, and my favorite the Birthday Cake Latte. They were all delicious! We tried almost everything on the menu….it was craziness! Everything was so good though.
The new Seattle’s Best Coffee shops are “pop-up” coffee stores. Everything is sold through the drive through or walk-up window. It’s meant to be fast and convenient and I’d agree that it sure was! The food is wrapped so it’s easy to eat on the run and won’t make a mess while driving…..score! There is even a macaroni and cheese you can eat on the go….how cool is that? It’s got a little jalapeno kick to it. So good!
