Texas-Day 3

This was our last day in Texas. We left San Antonio first thing in a morning and headed to Dallas. We met up with my sister and her family (minus her newly married oldest) for lunch at a great BBQ joint. After our delicious meal, Eric and I headed to Dealy Plaza and the the Sixth Floor Museum at the School Book Depository. It was a sobering sight to see where Kennedy was shot and to walk through the museum listening and reading the details surrounding his death. We had enough time to do all of our sightseeing here before heading to the airport to fly back home in the evening. While this was not our most exciting trip, we were very grateful to be able to connect with family and have some time to celebrate our anniversary a little early.

This is how it's done while in TX

This is my sister and her daughter, Natalie. Natalie and I tend to get comments that we look so much alike. I'll take that as a compliment. :)

You can't see it in this picture, but there are two X marks on the road marking both spots where Kennedy was shot.

The Texas School Book Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy. 

This is the second X marking the fatal shot.

We weren't allowed to take pictures on the 7th floor of the museum, but we went up to the 8th floor, and I took these out of the corner window. You can see a perfect view of the road below (keep in mind the trees were not that big back in 1963.
