A Fabulous Date

Last night I enjoyed one of the best dates of my life. Adam took me down to Las Colinas to see this place that had mustang (as in the horse) statues. It was right off of the canal so we wandered around enjoying the beautiful night. It was a little windy, but the city lights reflecting on the water were so beautiful. I tried to get some pictures, but as I had no tripod they didn't turn out too well. As we wandered I realized we were in an area I knew fairly well. When you change positions in the bank, they send you to a special training class that can take 1-3 weeks in Las Colinas. I'd spent many lunch breaks wandering the canal. I was so excited to be back in a part of downtown that I knew and loved. We had a fabulous dinner at Jinbeh. Adam had never eaten at a Japanese hibachi restaurant before. The food was amazing as was the chef. I can't wait to take Adam to my favorite, Benihana's! After dinner, we walked down to the Omni hotel where Adam and his dad used to work. He walked me behind the hotel to show me a beautiful pavilion his father had built. I made Adam promise to take me back during daylight so I could get a good picture of it. Then he took me to the pen where they keep their black swans! I was maybe 5 feet away from them! They were so dark, I couldn't even see them until I noticed their bills and then could see the outlines of their bodies. I had such a great time with Adam, walking and talking. He's such a sweetheart, planning a night like that. Poor guy, I had no idea what was going on. I thought he was just taking me to see where he used to work. It took me a little while to realize I was on a romantic date. Isn't that a little backwards? Anyway, I do have a few pictures I can share. Enjoy:
The canal I walked near my bank's training center.
The view across the canal.
A little photoshop version of the mustangs.
I think there's a chance Adam and Karen have met in a previous life...
Adam's arms are longer than mine, so I made him take a picture of us. Every time I did, I'd cut off his head or the bottom half of my face. I think he did a great job.
I can't wait to go back in the daytime and get more photos. These statues are so beautiful and lifelike!
It looks like they're coming right at you.
Amazing detail. I was blown away. (Literally. The wind kept trying to throw me into the water...)
