So Mike and I discovered, on our night out in the Big D Saturday, that we are no longer hip. This is probably no big surprise to many of you however we were still thinking there might be a thread of hipness to us---not any more! We are now fully aware that we are not "cool" as we used to say in high school. Mike's brother and sister in law decided to keep Jackson and Bear for us so that we could have a belated anniversary get away. We started our kid-free time by dropping Jackson off for his nap Saturday afternoon. We had a successful shopping trip and bought Jackson a "big boy bed" which we won't start using for several months but it's just too hard to shop with him. Then we headed to the hotel. We stayed at the W--very hip hotel. We thought going to the pool would be a good idea but quickly changed our minds when we stepped off the elevator only to find the hippest, buffest young adults swarming the DJ and pool. So...we turned around (but not before grabbing the only "old" couple to take our picture with the skyline behind us)
Then we headed back to the lobby for some nice people watching and a refreshing drink. Here's Laura relaxing on one of the beds. What happened to chairs? Are beds in the lobby the new thing?
After relaxing in the lobby and checking out the hotel room (I love to see what the bathrooms will look like!) we did some window shopping while scoping out the streets for a good dinner place. We found a great sushi restaurant. Apparently they have the largest sake list in the country. Who knew Dallas liked sake so much?? Here we are enjoying some edememe before our meal.
Thank you Jack and Barb for taking such good care of our kids for us!! We know Bear had a great time because she slept the whole next day and Jackson kept saying "more Dak, more Bab" (translation "more Jack, more Barb")

Isn't that the worst feeling? I still think y'all are cool, and the pictures look cool and hip. :) Sounds like a lot of fun!
Edememe is Turkish and probably not the soybean you're thinking of.
You don't get hipper by avoiding hip places. Should have stayed at the pool, learned the ways of the hip, etc.
