Juan and I have been married for 27 years--half my life--and we celebrated this weekend. We went to Dallas and stayed at the W hotel. It was so awesome!
We started the day at July Alley, a little bar we found in Deep Ellum next door to Elm Street Tattoo. We sat at the bar and talked to the bartender and all the eclectic people who walked in. That is the great little bar to people watch!
We left and made our way to Victory Park. Checking into our room was an experience--we were given warm, scented towels at the registration counter which was lined in hundreds of orchid displays and the scent of fresh flowers. The room was on the 9th floor overlooking the skyline of Dallas--beautiful! Our room was so relaxing and roomy--32 in. flatscreen, open glass shower, chaise lounge at the window to look out over the scenery...gorgeous!!
We changed and went downstairs to dinner at Cast, the hotel restaurant. We waited in the hotel bar until they came to get us--very cool! Again, fabulous! Because it was our anniversary we were given champagne and truffles by the chef. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere and view...well, again, fabulous!
We left and walked over to the Havana Social Club in Victory Park. Juan had a cigar as we sipped on 80 year old rum. We watched the Stars game on the TV and then sat and enjoyed the experience as the game was over and the crowd filled the area. Then, as we left we were able to see the Channel 8 10 p.m. newscast from the studio.
Back at the hotel we went up to the Ghostbar for the experience. It was very chic with an upscale vibe. Reserved tables are by bottle service only so we just stayed long enough to have a drink. We sat for a while then walked outside to look over the glass wall and admire the city lights. There is going to be two big parties at the Ghostbar this week--Cowboys on Monday and New Years Eve on Wednesday.
Back downstairs to the hotel lobby bar for a little while to people watch after the Stars game. Strange mix of people! You would think that only hotel guests would frequent the bar, but most of the people there were just drinking and hanging out!
Great day, great night, great life!!!
Happy New Year!
