Hi,
Dani and I drove from okie-dokie this past monday to meet some fellow photogs (STFers) and shoot one of the most grand hotels/resorts I've ever seen. The Gaylord in Grapevine Texas. Here are some shots I took, hope you enjoy!
Dani taking in some frozen yogurt (it was 75 degrees, sooooo nice):

In the daytime, inside, it looked like this:

A river ran through it...

But at night is when it really came to life....

ohhh, i've been there! it was for a gaming convention that i won 1000 dollars in!:wink
anyways yeah, its definitely a veryyy nice place to be. and that main area is just stellar, with all the balconies rising up, and the restraunts and coffee shops are amazing.:thumb i highly recommend this place to anyone who has wayyyy to much money to splurge on. because although my stay was paid for, they run way up there.

seems like an interesting place !I really like your pics - especially #3,4 and 5. River runs thru it - seems to have an extra greenish hue or is it just me ?:scratch
great work !

It was a pleasure to meet you and shoot with you last Monday! You're right, the Gaylord is quite a place and your photos are beautiful. When I came out to leave, Dani's TT was parked right in front of my van! What a coincidence.
Absolute best to both you and Dani in the future!!!!!!!

Thankfully we were just there as visitors and not guests. But I agree, great place to visit. Thanks Daniel!
