Spring Break - Days 2 and 3

Well, we have been busy but it's a good busy. We have changed up our plans a lot but it's so nice not to live by a schedule - we do that all the time and we all crave the change of being flexible and not having appointments to keep.

So, day 2 (Tuesday) we started with the plan of going to the zoo but it was rainy and icky outside so we decided to go to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. We went first to some of the exhibits and then to the Planetarium - very interesting. We attempted to do the "Dino Dig" outside but it started to thunder so we made Kelsie come indoors even though she only got to dig for a few minutes. We took in some other exhibits and saw the Dolphin show at the IMAX. After the IMAX, we decided at the last minute to go to Joe T. Garcia's for dinner. It's a very old restaurant in Ft. Worth - opened in 1935. Kelsie and I had never been there before. It's very interesting if you have never been there b/c there are only 3 menu items - a family platter (2 enchiladas, 2 tacos and fixins), chicken fajitas and beef fajitas. The food is good though, the tortillas especially. That pretty much wrapped up day 2 for us.

Day 3 we went over to Dallas around noon. We were planning to go to the JFK museum but ended up changing our minds after getting over there. We first went to Sam Moon. This was significant b/c it was Kelsie's first time to go there. We loved it - a girls dream of sparkling things - but cheap!! After a while there we went to the Dallas Farmers Market. We bought a few food items but spent most of our time in the flowers and plants. We bought a few things to plant and it was timely since we are working in the yard tomorrow. After all that, we went to Grapevine Mills Mall to do a little more shopping and to eat at the Rainforest Cafe - one of Kelsie's favorites. We made it back home in time to watch the Mavs barely get beat by the Suns in double OT. Here are a few pictures of the last 2 days. Hope you enjoy - will share more later......

she is funny!


Kelsie working on her building - the one in front of her is Wayne's creation - we had to snap the picture before it fell. It stayed up for quite a while.

Kelsie completing her "Field Guide" in the dinosaur exhibit at the museum. Here she is doing a rock rubbing. It was a very cool display and we got to see Mr. Jonathon (a friend from church)on TV giving instructions at one of the stations.

Sam Moon! I miss Sam Moon! You can't get anything cheap over here. Sounds like you all have had a busy few days. Hope the weather improves and you enjoy the rest of your break.
