There's a first for everything...

Over the long, holiday weekend at Aunt Mary & Uncle John's, I discovered that I did many things I've never done before. And I accomplished them all on a simple road trip to Dallas:

1. Drove for 7 hrs, in torrential downpours, at less than 40 mph ALL.THE.WAY.THERE.
2. Ate roasted boar.
...by the way...yum!

3. Drank a few of these first
thing Saturday morning before we hit the mall:

(Not such a good idea for the credit card's sake!)

4. Drove my aunt's convertible CLK350 Mercedes all around town:
(You already know my girl Taylor was on full blast.)

5. Ate multiple homemade canolis from a REAL Italian bakery!!
6. Had dinner & drinks with an Indy race car driver
P.J. Abbott & his fiance.
7. Watched fireworks on the roof of the
Gaylord Texan with P.J. & his fiance.

8. Took a picture with a miniature chewbacca.
(Nah, just kidding. That's my aunt's brussels griffon, Chloe)

9. And I somehow convinced everyone to wear the statue of liberty sunglasses long enough to take some pictures:

Me & Mr. Beau <3

Me & Uncle John

Me & Aunt Mary (aka "Harry Smellen")

Anyways, hope everyone had a fun & safe 4th!
