Dallas Stampede













Saturday, November 8th.

The Supper Club girls had fun for 24 hours.

I met up with Heather, Laura, and Becky at Amber's house. Amber was very sweet for driving us into Dallas.

We started with lunch at Jake's in Dallas. They specialize in burgers. Then we headed to the W hotel. It is located across the street from the American Airlines Center. Laura and Becky headed to the Spa for manis and pedis, while Amber was relaxed with a massage. Janay, Heather, and I walked around the Stampede Marketplace to shop and took some pictures of the scenery from the hotel. I got a great shot of the horse trailers outside the hotel. Bobbi arrived around 5. We headed back to our rooms and got ready for the rodeo.

This was a professional rodeo. Check out the website. http://www.texasstampede.org/

I have seen the rodeo at the Fort Worth Stockyards, but this is NOTHING like that. These guys (and gals) were definately professionals. There was bareback and saddle bronc riding, bull riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing, muttin bustin', and a monkey that rides a sheep herding dog. Yes, a MONKEY!!! Please check out that site, even if it is just to see the monkey. :-)

After the rodeo events, the concert began....Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. I never heard of them, but I did like them and there were a few songs I would like to download from iTunes.

We were in a suite on the Platnum level at the stadium and we had food and drink galore. LOL

We hung out in the box and had a great time. These ladies are great fun and the sweetest to hang out with. We had a nice mix with the 7 of us. Laura, Becky, Janay, and I are married. Bobbi, Heather, and Amber are not. I am the oldest of the group. :-(

Breakfast on Sunday was at Bread Winners. That was an awesome place. The food was great and the building was cool. It as an old house, actually it looked like two old houses put together.
