Dallas, TX

I took Brian to Dallas to see his beloved Cowboys in September 2010. Unfortunately, the team didn't have its game on and the Bears won. Oh well. At least we had a good little weekend in Dallas.

We stayed at the Palomar. What a beautiful small hotel. I got our room at a ridiculously low rate thanks to Priceline.

COWBOYS STADIUM: The new stadium is really beautiful. We toured it the day before the game. Brian got to meet Rocket Ismail which he was really excited about.  Parking at the stadium is pricey. We parked in a $40 lot. We saw a $60 lot closer to the stadium!

 It was a fun weekend getaway!
