South West Trip Part 2

Filed under: West Trip — May 18, 2008 @ 5:37 pm

We are in TX at my sister’s and having a nice time.  Bit warmer today; 91 degrees here but without the humidity of Delaware.  Yesterday we visited the Scarborourgh Renaissance Fest, saw a few acts, and some very strange folks.  At noon I picked up an orange ice to cool me down—think softball size solid ice—I either got frostbite or had a reaction to it.  My lips swelled so much that I had trouble talking and moving my tongue.   I even stopped eating it with over 3/4 of it left.  The boys laughed quite allot at me and even 9hrs later they were still swelled.  By morning they were ok. 

Today we visited the Grassy Knoll in Dallas, skipped the Book Depository Museum, and went over to Love Field to tour an air museum.  MilitaryKid, outfitted in his camo wear,  was placed into a pilot seat and received his first flight lesson from a Docent who served as a fighter pilot in WW2.  The plane was one used in WW2 to teach new pilots how to fly.  The docent was a wonderful older gentleman who spoke to MK as an adult to another adult.   MK moved the controls learning what each did to the plane in flight, learned what the different instruments meant and was totally non-emotional and indifferent about the entire experience.   UGH!!  Why can’t he show some excitement?   

Tomorrow we are off to the Ft Worth Stock Yards and zoo. Tuesday we leave for SW TX and the beginning of our2 months of camping.
