Trip to Dallas, TX

Mrs. Terri invited Sam and I to go to Dallas, TX to attend a rememberance get together of the founder of Saxon publishing, but they were also going to do a rememberance to Mr. Sam. Mrs. Terri, Sam, Gina, Chris, Calyn, and I all went to Dallas and stayed in the Gaylord Texan. It was fabulous, much more easier to find your way around there then Gaylord Opryland! Bailey wanted to go too but he had to stay at my parents house! Sam, Mrs. Terri and I got there first and were able to walk around and get to know the lay of the hotel. We even had time to shop at Grapevine Mills, Opry Mills in a bigger version! We enjoyed a family dinner together that night with Gina, Chris, and Calyn. The next morning "the kids" went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and Mrs. Terri stayed behind to have breakfast with a friend. Calyn loved the toys at Cracker Barrel! We went to the celebration/rememberance get together that afternoon. Sam got up in front of everyone and told stories about his dad. We were all teary eyed, but all VERY proud of him!! He did a fantastic job! That night we went to Pappadeux for dinner. Sam and Chris had crawfish..it looked gross..I didn't try it, just took pictures of it. The next morning before we left to head home, Sam, Chris, Calyn, and I went to the JFK Memorial and to the 6th floor. That was awesome! I love to see historical stuff in real life, not history books! We learned quite a bit about all the controversy and conspiracy behind it all! We flew home that afternoon and were very tired to say the least! Texas was great though! We really enjoyed our time with family!
