Winter Wonderland

This weekend, we went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. We planned to go ice skating, but it was sold out for the day. We ended up walking around the festival and it was so fun! It was like a cross between Wurstfest, Renaissance Festival and the Rodeo with all things Christmas! It was decorated so cute and there was a lot to see and do. Sorry for the picture overload...

 Winter Wonderland!










 Dates wanted a picture of the English Carnie.


 There were plenty of pubs in Winter Wonderland!




 Cute little bus ride 



 This is just like my favorite rodeo ride! 

 Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

 Carousel Bar-this was really cool! It was an old carousel they turned in to a bar. The bar was in the center and you just hopped on, ordered your drink and rode around.


 We ate some really good food!

 These were delicious


 This is a street in our neighborhood. We walked to Victoria Station to watch the Texas game after the Winter Wonderland.
 Victoria Station. Notice the guy in the cut off Georgia shirt. He was pretty hardcore.
We made friends with these two Americans while watching the game.
We found a really yummy Mexican food place on Friday night!!! It's called Wahaca and it's in Covent Garden.

Fiesta!

Christmas has come early! Before I left Houston, I went to my favorite mexican restaurant with my friends. They each brought me something that I would probably not be able to find here and shipped it all over to me. I was so excited when the Fed Ex guy came this morning!! Hope Dates is ready for queso for dinner!

 Look at all that good stuff!!! Thanks girls!

Other pics from the week...
 On Monday night I went to dinner and to see Mamma Mia with some of the girls from Dates' office. The theater area was beautiful and the show was so good! I can't wait to go see more!


 Nola joined us at the near by pub on Tuesday night. It was really cold and had been raining so we brought her inside with us.  

She loves being able to go everywhere with us!
