Texas Trip 2012
For our vacation this year, we made a trip to Texas. We flew from Indy to Dallas on June 9th, and returned home on the 16th. It was a great trip!
We spent the first few days with my best friend Amy, who lives in Fort Worth. It was so nice of her to let us stay at her house. That saved us a lot of money. We also spent a couple days in San Antonio.
I will try to do a separate post on the major things we did/places we went, but here is a brief overview of our trip.
We went to the Fort Worth Stockyards (Historic part of the city) on Saturday evening for dinner and a rodeo, which was cool. You can't go to Texas and not go to a rodeo, you know.
We attended two different churches on Sunday. I think it is neat to see other churches worship. The people at both churches were very friendly and welcoming. The sermons were good and Biblical. The music was a little different than what we have at our church, but still good.
We toured the Dallas Cowboys stadium on Monday. That place is HUGE! We also went to the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas, which is the building from where President John F. Kennedy was shot. Monday evening, we went to a Christian book store to meet Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee at a book signing.
Tuesday, Carl and I spent some time in downtown Fort Worth. We walked around a place called Sundance Square, which has shops and eating places. We also walked to the Fort Worth Water Gardens. There were some neat fountains and things there. That afternoon/evening, Carl and I, along with Amy, went to the Botanic Gardens (very pretty!) and walked around before heading to Arlington to the Texas Rangers baseball game. The game was awesome!
Wednesday was our anniversary (3 years!) and we drove down to San Antonio. We ate dinner at Fogo de Chao, which was very yummy, and took a boat tour on the River.
Thursday, we went to Sea World...lots of fun!
Friday, we went to the Alamo, and drove back to Fort Worth, where we met up with Amy for dinner.
Saturday, we went to a neat food truck park before heading back to the airport to fly home.
We had a super fun time on our vacation. Like I mentioned above, I will do a post on the major events with photos. I will try to do a post a day.
