Didn’t I say it was supersized?  Hee hee.  This McDonald’s outlet can be found in Dallas, TX and is called the World’s Biggest Happy Meal Box. In a special show on the Travel Channel about unique McDonald’s around the world, this outlet earned a spot in the top 10.  It is unique all right!

The giant happy meal box is two storeys high and houses the playscape.  On either side of the building are supersized food items: fries, soda, Big Mac! Can you imagine if these were real?  One will need supersized slim pills to follow the meal. Hee hee!

You can read more about the world’s biggest Happy Meal box in my food blog:  HERE.

We drive to Dallas, at the very least, three times a year. (I should probably already start looking into destin florida vacations as an alternative option.) And when we do go to Dallas, we always stay at our favorite hotel located in Irving, Texas, which is just a few minutes away from a popular attraction, The Mustangs of Las Colinas.  We’ve seen these beautiful sculptures at least 4 times, the last being a week ago.  Every visit feels like it were the first so much so that I’ve already amassed a good number of photos of these horses.  Hee hee.  Believe it or not, I’m already looking forward to our next rendezvous with the mustangs…whenever that is.

Have a great week ahead, y’all!  Cheers!

Gone are the days when my little girl will smile and pose for me at the drop of a hat.  These days, I have a much better chance at getting better shots if they are candid.  It’s less stressful for me, too.  Little girl can do her thing…and I can do mine.

See what I mean?  These photos were taken at the beach two months ago. I took lots of photos this past summer and a lot of them were taken at the beach.  I will need some heavy duty wall mounts to display my favorite pics…if and when I finally get around to printing to printing and framing them.  *sigh*

“Rain, rain, go away come again another day…”  Unfortunately, this song didn’t work the way it’s supposed to when we were in the Texas cities of Dallas, Irving and Fort Worth in early September.  We were showing a visiting cousin our favorite sights from these cities.  But the rains made it awfully difficult for us to enjoy the outdoors.

One of our favorite “go to” places for photo ops is the Williams Square in Irving, TX where the Mustangs of Las Colinas can be found.  But on September 12th, we had to take photos from a distance…inside the car!

Oops, let me roll down the window!

So near and yet so far. Tsk. We’ve been here so many times.  (In fact, we were here again just this morning.  Hee hee. )  But that was the online time we ever saw this place without shutter-happy tourists.  Everyone, except us, opted to stay indoors.  Some probably opted to light their Padron cigars instead. Tsk, tsk, tsk.  Not a very smart choice.

I loooove this season’s tv line up!  From Sunday to Thursday – and some Saturdays! -  there is something on tv that I find to be worth watching that I can’t keep up.  Thank goodness for the dvr!   I think I already need an under eye cream from all the late nights and tv viewing eye stress.

My favorite shows this season are:  The Next Iron Chef, Dancing with the Stars, House, Hell’s Kitchen, The Forgotten, Eastwick, Flash Forward, Vampire Diaries, Grey’s Anatomy, The Practice plus my food shows.  If and when I miss a show, I make sure I catch up online.  TV addict, that’s me.  And no, I don’t need intervention just yet.
