It's D town, peeps!

I'm going to try to not be overly wordy and keep it to the pics...('try' is the key word here)

Road trip commenced around 4pm on Saturday to head to Dallas for Sunday's COWBOYS game! All the home games are sold.out. but we realllly wanted to go so when we lucked into some seats, we weren't about to turn them down! :) Ended up making for a fab, fall weekend!

We stop at this gas station/casino on every D town trip (we've only made like 3 trips, but still.. I'm gonna say "every trip" b/c I want to). This time, lady luck wasn't kind to the one dollar we each spent at the casino. Next time, we'll win big.. I can feel it. ;)
Our hotel, Nyl0, was awesomesauce! We've stayed there before...just at the one in Frisco. Eric gets kudos for finding this uber-affordable and awesomely chic hotel before we met (although I like to think he didn't do anything cool before me.. duh...haha.. kidding..). They just opened another one in Irving (closer to the stadium), so we booked it! I highly recommend if you're looking for an affordable, fun, chic, modern, fabulous hotel! And when I say affordable.. think 80-90 bucks after taxes thanks to expedia-and the actual hotel's website isn't that much more! And they don't skimp anywhere, either. Hotel has an a fun bar, restaurant, etc.. Okay, I'm done with the free advertising for them. Just trust me on this one. :) Oh and one more fun fact, they're a green hotel so you're not doing wrong by mother earth by staying there...well..as wrong as you could be doing I suppose.. haha...

Lobby pic. Note the hotel desk attendants could see me sooooo I opted to do a nice, calm pose.. haha...
We're easily entertained. In case you couldn't tell by now... hah...
Someone may have been laying on the bed while we talked about dinner plans when his girlfriend ambushed him with a self-timed photo...

Reason number 1 million two hundred and fifteen why Eric rocks: He pre-reserved a parking place close to the stadium! Woohoo!
The kind gentleman beside us opted to show his arse in our photo.. or tie his shoe.. or pretend to be on the line of scrimmage.. I dont know.. but I still like this photo..haha.. :)
Live band outside, people all hanging, tailgating, etc... so fun! Oh, and that big screen there? Yeah.. it's showing the Minnesota game and someone (the guy I'm dating in the white shirt there) might have been in heaven...;)
Obligatory football food: fat kid nachos.. Mmmmmm... :)
Susan G K0men halftime show :)
It was seriously a fab little trip, peeps and a great game to attend for my first NFL game! It meant a lot that Eric had purposely studied ahead and was able to take some down time to enjoy time not only at the game...but with little old me. I know that sounds cheesy, but having taken the bar exam, I definitely understand the crazy-studying thing and the stresses that come along with it... :)

Hope everyone's costumes are ready, candy is purchased, plans are set, and you're ready for a fab Halloween weekend! :)

Looks like an amazing time! I can't believe we were there at the same time. My hubby went to a game there last month and said it was awesome and HUGE. I can't wait to go. By the way that hotel looks very cool. Our hotel was the standard Marriott where I proceeded to order $40 worth of breakfast! :)

Looks like you had such a fun time and I love all of the pictures you took! I had to laugh at the one pic of you and your BF where you put on the self timer and ran and hopped on the bed and also the one with the man's butt! Ha ha, darling photo of you two though. Happy almost Halloween!

Lauren @ Dreams Take Flight said...

Aww looks like such a fun weekend! How lucky that you got tickets...the stadium looks amazing!

Also, you two are so super cute together.

{lauryl} said...

Looks like a total blast... but um... what the F are those pink polka dot cheerleading costumes??? GAG.

blaze said...

Looked like a blast!! I'm jealous. Maybe one day I'll get see my cowboys play in their stadium before its considered out dated.

laurenrector said...

go cowboys! i'm sure my dad would be jealous to know you went to a game.

...and you're right about those cheerleaders. they are all way too tan for late october. and they're orange-y. and worse than that, they're all the exact same color, like they all take turns getting the same airbrush treatment. it just seems weird and unnatural. is it mean that i said that about them since they did that whole komen half-time show? at least they have big hearts!
