I have been so busy preparing for Christmas that I have neglected Thanksgiving. We were ALL in Texas this year! We had a fabulous time! We left home on Thursday, November 15th. After spending the night in Wichita, KS we headed to Oklahoma City to visit the Oklahoma National Memorial. We have talked about stopping for many years, but we have just never taken the time.
Although I enjoyed the museum, it was very emotional. I just can't understand how the people dealt with it. How strong....how resilient...how quick thinking....and the stories...oh my. All I can say, is you need to go through the museum. And then count your blessings.

Enough said......

We then traveled on to Dallas and met up with Travis, Kerry, and boys. Friday night we met my cousin and his wife, Mark and Lori, for supper at
Pappadeaux's. (If you like seafood you should eat there! We've eaten at this one before and one in Albuquerque. Yum!) We had a great time catching up!
Saturday morning we got up and headed to Magnolia in Waco. We got there just as they were opening, and they were having a pop up sale in a tent out back. They gave you a bag that you could fill for $50. We got $500 worth of stuff for $50!! Yay!! Then we shopped and had a treat from the bakery.

Although Chip and Joanna did not show up to greet us, they did
leave us this nice note!! :) |
We then headed back to Dallas for the real reason we went there. And that was to watch Chance play football in the Cowboy's Stadium! We watched him play all afternoon then toured the stadium.

Sunday morning we headed to Fort Worth to the Stockyards. We enjoyed a yummy breakfast then watch the longhorns as they came down the street
 |
Only Texans would put cowboy
boots & a hat on their steer! |

A shoot out between Marshall
Dillon and Festus! |

Fred's Texas Cafe was recommended
on Diner's, Drive-ins, and Dives
and it did not disappoint!! |
Travis, Kerry, & boys headed to Dalhart after lunch, but we had one more stop to make. We visited
Decorator's Warehouse in Arlington. It is a Christmas lover's dream!!!! It is a HUGE building FULL of Christmas decorations. Anything you could think of they had!
With a car loaded to the gills with luggage, food, a 5' Santa, a TV as pictured above, and the two of us we set off on a six hour drive to Dalhart.
Stay tuned for part 2.
