Fall at The Dallas Arboretum Botanical Gardens

Fall is finally here! My family and I decided to take Anthony to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Garland. My parents were very excited and helpful. It took me forever to take decent pictures of Anthony since he is an uneasy toddler and can't stay still but I wouldn't take any of those precious moments for granted. I love being a mommy.

Dallas Museum of Art

Sarah and I decided to have a girl's night out. She recently was drafted to have a one-year access to the DMA as well as free parking, and if you must know is hard to get free parking in Downtown Dallas, but anyways it was really fun and I had an opportunity to see art in a different way. Let me tell you there was a lot of interested art and statues. My favorite section was the Egypt section. There were so many art to photgraph but I chose to post my favorites and hope that you all enjoy the photos. After the DMA we decided to have dinner at Gourmet Pizza Chicago's , it is a very cozy place with reasonable prices in the heart of Las Colinas right across from the aLoft.
