Nice Day in Dallas

Thank goodness today was back to normal.  I must admit that this campground, Hi-Ho, is not a bad place. We truly are the only ones out of about 150 sites that haven't planted our garden but I must say that the people here are living here and going back and forth to jobs. Only by the grace of God we aren't having to do that too.

We got up this morning and headed into town to see the Sixth Floor Museum where Oswald shot Kennedy from. We must say that this was a nice set up. It was money well spent.  We asked the girl at the front desk of the museum about a quaint local place to have lunch. She suggested we walk right up "there" for about 10 minutes and catch the free trolley to the West End. Have I mentioned this girl was all of 20.  She failed to mention it was up hill and she apparently didn't see our age. We walked it but it was more like 20 minutes. Van said he'd been more than glad to move the car and pay for parking if he had known this. While on the trolley we asked some of the locals if they could suggest a place.  Everyone of them mentioned Mexican.  Now if any of you have been with Van and Me when we are in a Mexican restaurant you know that we have no idea how to order. We have to point to someone's plate and say we want that.  It's really pathetic. So we quietly told them thank you and when the trolley let us off we went looking for a "different" place. Let me go ahead and tell you that there are lots of different names for Mexican restaurants but I think that's all there's been in the whole state of Texas. We've been eating Mexican since Houston.  So, of course, we ate at a local place called Taco Diner. It was good food but we still had to point to someone's plate and say we would like that.  Needless to say, we didn't feel like we ate at the quaint place we were looking for (ha).  Now we had to get back to our car and we knew we weren't going to walk all that way again so we jump on the transit train. It cost us but at this point Van was more than willing to pay the cost.

Then we decided to go see South Fork where they film the show Dallas.  That stupid show has become one of our favorites. If you haven't watched it you haven't watched this new generation of children make J.R. look nice!  It looked just like you see in the show but smaller.  It too was a good choice to go see

Planning on leaving in the morning. We'd like to make it all the way to Natchez, MS but we don't think we can. We will probably stop overnight in Shreveport LA somewhere. As far as we can tell, there really isn't anything there for us to see. We want to spend some time in Natchez and going up towards Tupelo, MS before we see children on Thursday night in Booneville MS.

Well, that's all for now. All of you are so sweet to take time to read our little journey. We sincerely do miss you and will be ready to be home by the end of September.
