the dirty d (part I)

Four months into our move and we are just beginning to finally explore the DFW metroplex. It's actually been rather fun trying new things and attempting to find our niche.

I can't say that I'm in love with the area but, I am loving the weather (no humidity!) and looking for spots to hang out at as regulars. Last weekend was the Dallas Film Festival. It was the perfect opportunity to hop on 30 and head into Dallas and support a dear friend.

Hi Kelly!

Our first stop was the Bishop Arts Center. I have to stop mentally comparing the places here to Houston but, it had a Rice Village-goes-boho vibe to it & was a nice, lazy stroll for a Sunday afternoon.

is it just me or is this not similar to Rice Village?

so many quirky details throughout!

Especially when you consider the breakfast-for-dinner (aka CARB CENTRAL) we got to indulge in:

a just as delicious as it was pretty mocha

lemon & honey beignets

the red velvet, gingerbread & strawberry chocolate chip pancake sampler (OMG)

Oddfellows is going on the keeper list

Beignets & pancakes followed by funky films? Let's keep these weekends coming, please.
