Dallas

This is my 70th blog!! I did not think I would do this for this long, but I have enjoyed it!
After me whining (yeah right), Paul decided he felt like going into Dallas today.
So I drove, driving Paul crazy, trying to avoid the obstacles in the road. Along this country road, the shoulder was wide enough to have a second lane, and if a vehicle was going slow, they just moved over onto this lane!


Traffic in Dallas, though, was not as accommodating! But we made it safely!
We saw the first house in Dallas;

The 6th courthouse built, named "Old Red";

Dealy Park (named for the first settler who owned the little log cabin above);


the JFK memorial (design chosen by Jackie, but she never came to see it completed);


the 6th floor museum in the old book depository that houses memorabilia and information about the assassination of JFK, from where oswald allegedly shot JFK;

There is an X in the middle lane a little to the left of the middle of the photo to mark the exact location of the 2nd shot. The first is further up the street to the right of the picture.
the infamous grassy knoll;

Paul drove back to our campsite and we spent the rest of the day relaxing, reading and enjoying our view.
