We hit the road this weekend for our summer vacation.
Our first stop was at one of
JD's favorite places - a dinosaur museum. This science museum in Ft. Worth had lots of fun things for children to do.
This giant
alligator (maybe it's an
alligator) was one of the many things designed to be fun for kids.
Our second stop was the Stock Yards. We walked around the area and shopped for western wear. **WARNING to future vacationers** DON'T go see the Pawnee Bill Wild West Show. We got sucked in by the promise of air conditioning and an hour of relaxing entertainment. While we did get to sit in cool air for an hour the show was far from entertaining!! Bad singing and two guys jumping around with loin clothes pretending to do
Indian dancing just doesn't cut it.
George was happy when we found this knife shop.
AHHHHH - knives!!!
Here's why the air conditioning seemed like such a good idea. When we got back into our car the thermostat said 110 and then went up to 112. Maybe it wasn't REALLY that hot but it sure was uncomfortably warm.
Day two of our vacation was a long drive through Oklahoma and Kansas. We stopped for lunch at
McDonald's in Perry Oklahoma where apparently the ditch witch was invented.
We bought gas at a station with this lovely piece of roadside art. JD was worried about what would happen when we crossed the state line into Kansas. He was sure that everything would be black and white like the beginning of The Wizard of OZ. He was
relieved to see that Kansas was in color.
