Last Wednesday, I woke up in Dallas! We drove around the city a bit. We wanted to go to Dealey Plaza and check it out. First we saw some cool sites.
We made it.
This is a portion of the speech that JFK was going to make that day.
There is an X in the street where JFK's car was.
You can see the book depository in the upper left and the X on the right.
It was kind of a moving experience. My mom remembers crying when she heard the news.
Then I was dropped off at Terry Black's. A very famous barbecue place.
This place is at the top of many lists.
I was first in line at 10am. A little early for barbecue but it was the only time I could go.
It was a neat place with seating inside and outside.
Here are the smokers.
The let me in at 10:45! I was a bit nervous.
Here are the sides.
The desserts.
Then you walk up and pick your meat. I got a beef rib. Several pork rib bones and some brisket with burnt ends.
I went to sit outside but there were too many flies so I moved inside. Here are the sides and dessert. Green beans, baked beans, creamed corn, corn bread and banana pudding.
The yummy meat.
Beef ribs are the best. This one was amazing. I ate some but I didn't want to make myself sick.
They were the best pork ribs I ever had.
The place started filling up quickly.
The pudding was yummy.
I was proud of myself for not eating till I got sick. I brought back ribs and brisket for the guys at the convention center.
I walked a mile to the convention center. I had to walk off what I ate and I wanted to explore the city. There were some really cut areas with shopping and food.
I didn't take any pics of the not as nice areas with all the homeless people.
The government offices.
I made it!
Sadly no guns allowed. Lol.
The National Pool and Spa Convention.
Mark devoured the ribs and brisket.
At the end of the day, I Ubered back to the townhouse.
That night, we had dinner at Al Biernat's.
It was awesome but I needed a break from eating!
