Adventure in Dallas

On Friday, Mark took me out for a day full of adventure. First on our agenda, we left the thick smog of Dallas for the beautiful clear skies of the Dallas Arboretum . We got there in the morning when it was still kind of cool out. I had never been there before, and neither had Mark, so it was awesome to get to experience it together. There were so many beautiful flowers there, and the wildlife was pretty neat, too.We had a picnic there, and that was definitely awesome. Picnics are one of my favorite things, so this was a great surprise. After the picnic, we went to Steak and Shake, where I had a root beer float and Mark had a shake, of course. :) Next on our list was the Sixth Floor Museum in downtown Dallas. If you have never been there, it is definitely worth your time. There are many really interesting facts about JFK and his assassination. They even have a lot of footage shot that day. It was a strange feeling standing there on that floor, looking through the window that Lee Harvey Oswald looked out as he shot the president. We saw a conspiracy theorist sitting near the Grassy Knoll, telling people about how the whole thing was a big conspiracy. It was interesting to say the least.

Over the next few days, I will be posting several pictures from this adventure, so get ready!

It was so crazy being so close to somewhere where something so important happened. I couldn't pick a better person to have shared the experience with than you. ;-)

The arboretum was cool and all but they still haven't come up with a flower as beautiful as you. :-) We should definitely do that again sometime.
