On Monday morning, all the girls went to the American Girl Doll Boutique and Bistro in Dallas. Anna got her "Just Like Me" doll for her 6th birthday and I told her that when we went to a city that had a store we could visit and eat there. Dallas has a great store that opened in the last year. We arrived and had her doll's hair styled at the salon. This was a hoot. The doll sits in a salon type chair and they even put a cape around her. Anna got to pick the style and the ribbon colors (which were lost on the trip home, of course) and we shopped around the store. Anna really enjoyed getting to see all the historical dolls set up and all the fun things that you can have for the dolls. She picked out a dress for her doll and then my mom bought she and her doll matching t-shirts. After picking up the doll from the salon, we all proceeded to the bistro for lunch. This was really a great time. Caroline ate from the bitty girl menu, which was plenty for my non-eater!! Anna, mom and I ate from the regular menu. We told them we were celebrating Anna's birthday and they sang to her while bringing her an ice cream sundae. She enjoyed the spotlight. The food was very yummy, the service was perfect and the atmosphere was well thought out. Of course we had a doll seat at the table and had many pictures taken. All throughout our visit girls were arrive with their dolls in tow with friends or family to dine at the bistro. One family made us laugh because the dad and brother came along....much to the brother's amusement. He thought the whole thing was hilarious and every time he made a comment his dad would give him a certain "look" that implied, this is for your sister not you!! I would definitely recommend a visit when your daughter is this age as it is fun and a great place to spend some time with family. Anna was on cloud nine for sure!
