Belated Valentine's Day

As I sat and looked through my current blog posts, I realized I never ACTUALLY did a recap of my Valentine's Day. Things have been really crazy around here since the new year. Valentine's Day weekend serves as a fun few days to stop, relax, and celebrate love. :)

At school I got a few gifts from students and coworkers. Anything chocolate -- SIGN ME UP! And how cute are these cookies that STUCO sold as a fundraiser? They ordered them from a local bakery and I think they ended up being a hit!

 

Saturday night, we were really craving seafood and tried to hit up Jazz... unfortunately for us, there was a TWO HOUR wait when we got there so we said heck no and left. We ended up deciding on Ameristar's buffet because they were having a seafood special. We had to wait in line for about an hour, but it was SO WORTH the wait. Here are a few snap shots. Hello, all-you-can-eat crab legs!

  

Gift wise, things were simple and I got the #muglife coffee mug that I wanted filled with my favorite chocolate, accompanied by my favorite flowers - orange tulips! My day started with delicious donuts from Donut King too. Following breakfast, we headed to Alamo Draft House and saw "How To Be Single." I love Rebel Wilson and this movie was pretty funny. Plus, they have really good loaded cheese fries. :)

 

For dinner we headed back downtown and went to Yard House. If you haven't been, I'd highly recommend it. They have TONS of beer on tap and the food is really great too. We were really happy with our experience on Valentine's Day because we had a great server too.

 

As you can in the pictures above, I had a beer flight so that I could try a bunch of different brews. We started out our meal with the Lobster, Crab, & Artichoke dip [four cheese blend, chips, baked pita]. For dinner I had the Vodka Shrimp Pasta [chopped shrimp, angel hair, vodka tomato cream sauce, parmesan]. I didn't get a picture of anything else we had. Trying to enjoy the experience and what not...

 

Overall, it was a really laid-back Valentine's Day weekend, but still so much fun. The way to my heart is definitely my favorite flowers or beer... so...

Until next year's day of love! XXO.
