After some quick breakfast from Einstein's, we were ready for a full day of adventures. We began our exploring in the West End Historic District. Here we visited the Old Red Museum and most excitingly, we visited the assassination site of late president JFK in Dealey Plaza. The pictures simply tell our story for the day, so I will allow them to do the talking..

After about an hour of walking around downtown Dallas, we were D.O.N.E. done! It was so hot and super humid, we both had headaches and wanted nothing more than to just walk around an air conditioned mall. While making our way to a mall, we stumbled across an old Catholic church in the heart of the Dallas Arts District. After driving by this church, we decided that we had to go in! Of course, God works in mysterious way and a mid-day mass happened to be going on, so we stuck around for a while. This church was amazing to say the least!

After mass we had some time to kill before our flight, so we headed to what we thought was just a normal mall.. well we made yet another mistake! We ended up in the fanciest, most expensive mall EVER! Sooooo, we had lunch, window shopped and headed to the airport!
By this time, we were happy enough to just be in the air conditioning! All in all, I had an awesome experience in Texas. If I could sum up the parts of Texas that I saw it would be the "Three C's": cows, churches and cemeteries. Oh Man! Did I see a lot of cows, churches and cemeteries!
The road trip was something I would only do once in my life, but definitely worth it. And after finally being in Texas for myself, I actually understand why so many people love it there!
