After the wedding, a reception was held at the Italian Villa where there was beer, wine, appetizers, and cake served with the option of ordering off the menu if you wished.\u00a0\u00a0 A good time was had by all with toasts given and stories told.<\/p>\n

Got back to the hotel around 11:30…late for this old lady…I read briefly and turned out the lights.<\/p>\n

July 10th:\u00a0 Slept quite well and did not wake up until 7:00 A.M.\u00a0 We went for breakfast at Denny’s where the service left something to be desired; our waiter did a good job but there were not enough wait staff for the amount of people being served.\u00a0 After breakfast and once Jim ran some errands for Allison, we went SHOPPING.\u00a0 We went to Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Froggy’s (where I got a couple Christmas gift ideas for Savanna), Restoration Hardware (very disappointed they do not carry gadgets anymore), The Container Store, and Macy’s.\u00a0 Lunch was at the Old Fashioned Soda Fountain which made an excellent Chocolate Malt.\u00a0 Got back to the room about 5:00; after checking and responding to emails, I went to the Barnes’ room with a glass of wine.\u00a0 Allison called and it was decided we would meet her\/Josh at the Texas Roundhouse.<\/p>\n

We returned to the hotel where everyone went to their respective rooms.\u00a0 I made some phone calls and read before turning off the lights around 11:00 p.m.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
July 11th:\u00a0 Once I got up, I looked online for the news, organized my suitcase for an early departure the next morning, showered, got ice for my cooler, and met everyone for breakfast at Danny’s.\u00a0 Mike, Sarah, Lynda, and I decided to visit The Sixth Floor Museum located in Dealey Plaza, the place where John F. Kennedy was assassinated.\u00a0\u00a0 Even though it would of been better if the exhibits were further apart, the details of before and after the assassination was quite impressive.<\/p>\n

We had lunch at Chick Filet; it was the first time I had ate at one and their soup\/salad was very good.\u00a0 When we returned to the motel, everyone went to their respective rooms to rest and get ready for the wedding reception that evening.\u00a0 The reception was held at the Jackson Pavilion at Lake Grapevine; Lynda, Jim, and I arrived a few hours early in order to assist in the preparations.\u00a0 The affair was quite nice with excellent food, good conversations, casual & beautiful setting, and a very happy newly married couple!<\/p>\n

Since some of us had early starts the next morning, we did not stay for the fireworks.\u00a0 Made it back to the motel, read, and fell asleep.\u00a0 Lynda came to my door at 6:00 the next morning, the 12th, to make sure I was awake.\u00a0 I said my good byes to Lynda and Jim who were driving back to their home in Ohio.\u00a0 My flight was leaving at 7:20 a.m. so I took the 6:50 shuttle to the airport.\u00a0 There was no problem getting through security and my departure gate was right by the secure area along with a Friday’s restaurant so I ordered breakfast…the service at the airport was significantly better than at the Danny’s.\u00a0 No problem with the flight, got to my car, and drove home with arrival around 11:30 a.m.\u00a0 I was so glad I could attend Allison’s wedding along with meeting her new husband and in-laws; I believe she and Josh are going to have many, many happy years ahead of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
