It’s no secret that Houston & Dallas have a history of sibling rivalry, but I really began to fall in love with the city when I visited this weekend.

There was an actual Autumn in Dallas—with vibrantly-colored leaves—from reds to yellows to greens.

We were in town to celebrate my nephews birthday. He lived with me for a couple months of his life, so I was really excited to celebrate him turning one.

We ended the trip with a visit to Lake Louisville—and also ice cream at Braums.

And luckily, it won’t be long until our next visit. I’m coming for a couples getaway on Thanksgiving, where we have a feast, hiking trip, and Holidays at the Arboretum planned.
