Texas Vacation Day 3

On our 3rd day there we were going to go to the zoo, but we needed to rent an SUV and the car rental place was slow on getting it for us.  If we had gone to the zoo after we finally got the car we would have only had an hour to spend there, so we decided to go to downtown Dallas instead and see the memorial where JFK was shot.  It's called Dealey Plaza.

Not that I am a huge history buff or anything, but it was kind of cool to see the place, and see the way that they have preserved the area to keep it looking as it did the day he got shot.  So these pictures may or may not be interesting to you, but here they are!

 The "Grassy Knoll."

Ellie is a goof

 "X" Marks the spot where JFK was shot!

There was another part of the memorial across the street from the "Grassy Knoll", but there were protesters over there, screaming and yelling and praying, so we decided to not get involved . . . 

 And it was a terribly hot day

                                       

 This was breakfast that morning

 And chillin' with the boys that night in their little hangout place, whatever you want to call it. :)

Ellie wouldn't put her feet down because she was afraid Sophie would eat them.
