Two Weekends, Two Date Nights

The Dallas summer has arrived, bringing 90-degree temperatures all this week. This is only the beginning…

Sarah and I have taken advantage of the increased free time the summer brings and have gone out the past two weekends. Last weekend we headed to Arlington, which apparently is the entertainment center of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. We headed to the Rangers Stadium for a Saturday evening game against the Oakland A’s, but before the game we took in a concert by Casting Crowns.

The pictures were taken from the top level of the Rangers’ stadium; as you can see, there’s more than enough room in the surrounding area for a concert, a six flags park, a huge water park, and the new cowboys stadium. That’s a lot of parking lots, but the Rangers and the Cowboys can share some parking space: smart.

The Rangers proceeded to walk the first two batters of the game and allow one run in the first inning, but that was the only run they allowed as they hit 3 solo homers and went on to win 14-1.

Fast forward one week. Last night, we went to NorthPark Mall for an evening of coupon-inspired enjoyment. Dinner at TGI Friday’s is much more enjoyable when it’s buy one entree, get one free. Reduced price tickets for the movie Up followed thanks to our Entertainment book (A very fun movie. Another hit for Pixar: enjoyable for kids and adults), and then we splurged on a sundae from Cold Stone Creamery. All in all, a great evening.

With the heat coming, we will be consuming lots of ice cream. If you have any flavors to recommend, let me know!
