My mom and I also split their season salad. We thought it could have used a bit more actual lobster, but it was still fantastic. We started with the Maine Lobster Bisque. The butter was topped with chives and paprika- I’m saving this combo for a rainy day. Of course, for anywhere to be top notch, they served delicious warm bread and butter. They have several locations in the US- you can see if there is one near you here. If you have a special occasion to celebrate and need a great night out- this is your place. While each location is unique in its setting, artwork and décor, they all share an unmistakable elegance. Eddie V’s can be found across the country. The description on their site describes them perfectly:Įddie V’s charismatic vibe draws you in and holds you close, invites you to be seen, or sit back and just savor. The whole restaurant was nothing but class and elegance. Not only were they voted the BEST seafood restaurant in the US of A, they also are known for their wine selection– so there’s that. ![]() My mom blew up my e-mail with suggestions to view while waiting for my plane, which is perfect because one of my favorite past times happens to be researching the best local food spots in town. ![]() You get to sample several options from the menu, pair it with a wine, and get the experience for a decent price! We all haven’t been together since Christmas, so we joked that this was a combined birthday, Father’s Day, new job, and almost making it to the six month mark celebration! Any excuse to celebrate □ During restaurant week different restaurants create a menu that usually has a three or four course meal with a flat rate, which is way more reasonable than what you would typically spend. Worth was having it’s BIG restaurant week! It’d be a crime if we didn’t attend as self-proclaimed foodies. We then got ready for our family night out!!ĭallas/Ft. ![]() Once I woke up, we went to The Keller Pointe– the local workout facility.Īfter working out, my mom and I chatted in the hottub (It’s actually so nice after those workout chills set in!)Īnd of course, what’s a mother daughter hangout without some sushi! There is just something about being at your parent’s house that you feel like you can actually relax 100%. It reminded me of the days of coming back from nursing school and zonking out for hours on end. As soon as we arrived, I exchanged a hug with Pete and cuddles with my puppy. I was ecstatic to see her, and also pretty darn excited to find a real live bed with a pillow instead of an airplane tray table. When I arrived in Fort Worth at 8 am on Saturday, I grabbed my suitcase from baggage claim and felt such a great excitement/relief when I saw my mom pull up. I didn’t even wake up for the snacks- yup, that’s how tired I was. I slept nearly every second on the plane ride. Needless to say- I have never longed for or appreciate sleep so much as I do now with this nursing gig. My body was like, “whyyy must you torture me like this, go.to.sleeeeep”. But this was one of the top five moments of exhaustion in my lifeeeee. I hate being tired- growing up I used to say sleeping is such a waste of time, and I never have really enjoyed it. I thoroughly enjoy my “me time” while traveling alone, but man oh man, I was so tired it was hard to even keep my eyes open. I sat down to catch up a little bit on blogging while there. Last Friday(8/11), I worked all day, came home, scarfed down some food and then went to the airport to catch a red eye at 1 am. Real quick: If you want to read other posts about the fort worth travels you can check it here or here! I haven’t seen my mom since the marathon and my step dad, Pete, since Christmas, so I though this would be a perfect time to pay them and my fave lil’ town a visit! DJ couldn’t make it with the uncertainty of work, so he was surely missed. It worked out that I had four days off in a row, and I had to make the most of it. I only find out my schedule about four weeks before, so impromptu planning has forcibly become a newly acquired skill. ![]() BUTTTTT at least I’m honest about it, right? RIGHT?! We all know I break about every rule in the blogging book: My posts are too long, I share too many pictures, I make horrible jokes, and I ramble like a middle school girl on the phone. It’s actually one of those posts that I’m nervous to write because I feel like I won’t do the weekend justice! Also, fair warning that there are about a million pictures on this post- I had zilch chill when it came to the snapshots. HEYYY YAAAA’LLLLL! This past weekend was nuthin’ but good, Texan fun.
