A Short Trip to McKinney
The first and last time Lisa and I were in McKinney (north of Dallas) was in the spring for Justus’ State Gymnastics Championships. We were joined by Mom and Dad Hyde and Lisa’s parents and spent an afternoon together enjoying the town square shops and restaurants. Our time together was too short, and we left with the feeling there was so much more to enjoy we hadn’t yet discovered.
Justus, as I mentioned in a previous post, was awarded a week-long gymnastics camp at OU for his 6th place finish at Regionals. On our way to pick him up in Oklahoma City, Lisa and I sneaked in a couple of days in McKinney. Wednesday evening we celebrated our belated 19th wedding anniversary at the best steak house on the square. As we walked out of the Chophouse we found a horse-drawn carriage waiting near the front door, complete with Christmas lights and two large white horses. Lisa said, “Look at that beautiful carriage!” I told her, “Honey, that ride is for us.” (I made the secret reservation.) We completed our bottle of wine on our ride through the historic district at sunset.
On Thursday, we toured the Chestnut Square Historic Village. I took a lot of pictures (see below), and then we closed out our day with Lisa getting a pedicure while I enjoyed a few beers at the local English pub.
