Weekend With The Parents

This past weekend my parents came up to Dallas to visit us and get away from H-Town. Tina and I had planned this for a couple of weeks. A cold front adjusted our plans a little for Saturday, but it was a good weekend.

Friday we all had a nice dinner and spent some good time talking and catching up about what had been going on in Houston and Dallas. On Saturday we had breakfast before we drove downtown to see the Sixth Floor Museum about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This museum was set up nice and was very informative. The museum made you feel like you were a part of that time even if you weren't born during that time. We took some pictures of downtown afterwards even though the temps were in the 40's with 20+ mph winds. After the picture taking downtown, we were able to drive by President George W. Bush's neighborhood and took a picture of his house. We then drove through parts of Plano and Frisco and then drove to church for the 5:00 PM service. After a long day of driving we called it an early evening. On Sunday we met up and went to the Dallas Arboretum. My mom loved the pictures from a previous posting on the blog and wanted to go to an arboretum one day. So Tina and I figured why not take them while they are in Dallas. The weather was PERFECT for an outing. Apparently the rest of Dallas had the same idea to go to the arboretum too. General parking, valet parking , and the off-site parking were almost full. The arboretum is so spread out that even with all the people, you didn't feel cramped amongst others. After we left the arboretum, we had lunch and then took my parents to the airport to catch their flight back to Houston.

Weekends go by TOO quick, but Tina and I enjoyed their company and the time we got to spend together.
