01.23.2014: Vince Jr's Birthday & Ice Storms!

Today is Vince Jr's birthday....

We were planning to take him & Sarah to dinner at FEAST for the special occasion.  We had heard about it, and heard it was really for special occasions. Tapas style menu, with amazing twists to traditional dishes.  It is a cute little trendy new restaurant just outside of downtown in an area that is being regenerated (is that what you call it?)

Anyways, earlier in the day there were all kinds of weather warnings, telling people to stay inside and not go out in the streets after 4pm.  This is the temp the car said....and it felt more like -35

Well, we aren't in town much, so figured it didn't really apply to us either way.  So, here we are...at FEAST enjoying Vince's birthday with him!!!

Twins...
 Holy deliciousness!!!!  Dessert...
 Darkness...because my battery was dead so my flash would not work!
 Highly recommend!!
 
 
So, after we left, our cars were COVERED in snow/ice.  It was crazy. So we carefully drove to the Pearl Brewery area for some nightcaps.  STILL not convinced that this crazy storm is really meant for us.  Well, after we had our French 75 drinks (one of my new favs) at the Pearl and left, our cars were solid ice.  Really, solid ice. It probably took 30 mins just to defrost them so we could see thru the front windshield.  It was crazy...I imagine this is what people in the Northeast deal with all the time...but come on, this is Texas.
 
So, luckily we were literally around the block from Ft Sam (which is where we were staying), and we all made it home safely. Hopefully Vince had a good birthday!  It was awesome that we were actually able to spend the day with him!!!
