married life, day 1

4.12.2013

i thought i'd backtrack to day one.  since our honeymoon doesn't start for a little, eric's mom got us a room at the driskill so that we could celebrate away from everyone.  when we arrived his family had filled our room with flowers from the reception.  our room was on the haunted 4th floor, so that made the stay even more exciting.

for our first married evening, we decided to do one of our favorite everyday things and took a walk to get dinner.

a date at homeslice sounded perfect, so we headed straight there and had our fill of lone star and shiner hefeweizen in the garden before splurging on two enormous salads and pizza (our go to favorite meal).  eric hasn't spent much time on south congress so we really enjoyed walking around and checking things out at dusk (with some amy's ice cream) just in time to watch the bats come out for the evening.

it was exactly the relaxing date we needed to end an excitement filled weekend.  when we awoke next morning (happily the ghosts did not kill us), we tried out the driskill's 1886 cafe's yummy breakfasts of 'paris, texas benedict' and 'brazos juevos rancheros'.  the food was great, but i particularly liked the names.  man do i love/miss texas.
