Bring on the Cowboys

August 24-26, 2012

Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas

Lauren and I saw cheap plane tickets to Dallas and away we went.  We are really good at not making many plans and just showing up.  Dallas was a city we should of prepared a little more for.  The activities we did have planned were a blast, there was just some in between time.

Here's how we spent our time.

Friday:  We toured the Cowboys Stadium including running on the field, cheerleaders locker room, and press room.  We ate lunch and realized we needed a rental car if we were going to do anything.  That's when we got a tiny pink car.  Don't be jealous!  We headed to a Rangers game that evening where we just watched people.  Before I knew it the game was over and the fireworks show had begun!

Saturday:  I got up and ran 4 miles around the stadiums followed by a day in Fort Worth.  We headed to Sundance Square for a lunch that took a couple of hours--our choice.  We sat on the patio and just talked and talked about who knows what.  We stopped by a cupcake shop (oops--not vegan) and then the famous Water Gardens.  Within downtown is a peaceful area with waterfalls.

That evening was the BIG event.  We were going to the Fort Worth Stockyards to see a rodeo.  We walked around and found a bull we could "test" out.  The rodeo didn't disappointment and afterwards we found another arena for bull riding only!

Sunday:  We got up to head down to downtown Dallas.  We toured JFK's Memorial, 6th Street Museum, and a very old neighborhood with mansions.

Giddy-up, I'm ready for another trip!
