Gaylord Texan Animal-Style

We made another trip to the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas — the boys love it for the interior balcony overlooking the gardens and especially, especially the private water park, Paradise Springs, they have with a lazy river. When Shug started school, he still had all the wristbands they gave him from this stay plus some he’d kept from other trips over the summer.  It was his thing.

The rooms were renovated from the year before.

We had the best time on the balcony watching all the fountains and people…this was my favorite view:

Heavily IG’d, obv:

We went into Dallas a couple of times and once passed our first In and Out Burger. So I quickly Googled their little not-really-secret menu and got something animal-style:

Good hamburger! Not life-altering or seriously-go-out-of-your-way, but nice! And fries were simple and yummy too. Perfect size, crunchy and salty.
