New adventures of Dave and Ronna: Dallas.......

The morning of April 7^th found us on the road to Dallas TX to visit Dealey Plaza, the 6^th floor museum and visit with Dave’s nephew Brian and family. We stayed at Bluebonnet Ridge RV in Terrell TX, about 30 miles outside of Dallas. Saturday evening we had dinner with Brian and his crew, we were hoping to grill at the park, but the weather was not conducive to sitting outside around the campfire, so we met them at Applebee’s. It was good to catch up with family and have an enjoyable dinner.

Sunday we drove into Dallas to tour the museum and walk around Dealey Plaza. Cameras are not allowed in the Museum, so the outside photos were taken with my cellphone. The self-guided audio tour primarily deals with Kennedy’s presidency, the fateful trip to Dallas, and the investigation after. It has a lot of interesting artifacts such as all the cameras that took the only photos of the assassination, the suit that one of the Detectives were wearing when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby and the autopsy report of President Kennedy. Several videos were available which went into depth of what was shown in various exhibits.

Viewing the recreation of Oswald’s sniper’s nest where the shots were fired from on the 6^th floor the book depository, then standing on the “grassy knoll” and seeing the X’s on the roadway where the shots struck President Kennedy and Governor Connally brought history to life.

After this very interesting and worthwhile experience it was back to the camper for dinner and preparing for our departure in the morning to head out to Oklahoma!
