We finally used our “Night Out in Dallas” winning bid we received from the Caesar Salad Competition this past year. Not only did we get to stay at the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, but our winning bid also included driving a brand new snazzy 2014 Lexus IS from Sewell Lexus of Dallas. Being first timers to the mansion, we couldn’t wait to investigate. There are many different rooms to...

Horrified is the only word to describe all inner feelings the second my husband said, “We are having lunch at Dave & Buster’s.” All I’m saying is there’s maximum fear attached to lunching at an arcade— always. Ten thousand apologies to arcade restaurant lovers everywhere. It’s just not something I’d willingly ever do on purpose. Upon marrying my husband last year, I received...
