A Visitor!

Last weekend John and I hosted our first overnight guest, Rebekah!  It was her first trip up to Dallas to see our new digs and a good excuse to hang out and catch up!

We cooked dinner at our place Friday night and woke up Saturday to try this gem in Deep Ellum:

The All Good Cafe, as seen on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and known for their peppered bacon. It was delicious and brought very Austin-y vibes all the way to Dallas.

Afterward we stopped at John's office to hang some pictures and frames and then Rebekah and I treated ourselves to a relaxing manicure before doing a little shopping. Saturday night we all made our first visit to the Bishop Arts District, a community undergoing revitalization in Oak Cliff.

It's got lots of great stores, restaurants and culture all within a few square blocks. We stopped for drinks at Tillman's first and then sat down at Hattie's, a low-country cooking inspired restaurant. I ordered shrimp and goat cheese grits and was probably one of the better meals I've ever had.

(Y'all you can google image just about anything these days.....so amazing!)

Sunday morning Rebekah joined us at a church we've been visiting and thanks to the great weather, we had a lovely lunch outside before she headed back down 35 toward Austin.

We're looking forward to her  next visit (or perhaps we'll get away to Austin first) and welcoming any other visitors wandering through Dallas!
