Deep in the heart of Texas

The Dallas temple,

downtown Fort Worth at night,

QuikTrip,

SAM MOON,

A&D Buffalo's,

...this list goes on!

Our trip to Texas was very nostalgic and very fun. Nostalgic when we first got to DFW because everything we saw seemed to have a good memory associated with it, and fun because Texas is simply a fun-loving, laid-back kind of place. I wish more places would take on those qualities!
Liz finally met her Opa, her uncles, and even her GG (Great-Grandma Killion).

One morning we drove to Sulphur Springs, TX to meet Grandma Killion. We had lunch at Furr's and John found this really cool park (just like Ocean City, NJ!) and we had a great afternoon!

We went down to Waco, Texas, which is about an hour and a half ride down I-35 from Fort Worth. Visiting Baylor Law School was our main priority down there, but we had to visit the Dr. Pepper Museum= very cool. I am very happy we stopped by!



Baylor has a beautiful campus right off the Brazos River in Waco. The Law Building is very new, state-of-the-art, you name it! We met with the Associate Dean of Admissions and we were given a tour of the building. Beautiful, beautiful place. There's potential there. ;)



We hung out a lot with Hillary and John. Man, when Chris and John get together we laugh and laugh. I love it! We spent a night with the Aaron's. Papa Murphy's+ The Dark Knight on Blu-ray= A-mazing! Valerie treated Hillary, Samantha, and I to a Girls' Day with lunch at Cheddar's and a visit to Sam Moon. Okay, I love Sam Moon. You walk in, and all you see is purses. Purses, belts, jewelry, handbags, shoes...oh boy it is an experience.

(We went back several times; you can see that Chris and Liz are happy about that!)

Chris's family was kind enough to throw me an early birthday party, complete with gifts,

and an amazing ice cream cake! Thank you guys :)


We had a wonderful time. We wish that TX wasn't so far away from MD so that we could make more frequent trips there. Liz had a wonderful time too; she couldn't get enough of her Granny, Opa, and her Uncles and Aunt. We HAD to take her over to the Fossil Ridge and Park Glen wards on Sunday so our Texas friends could meet her and they loved her too. Everyone loved her! Repeatedly we were asked if she could stay when it was time for us to fly back to BWI. On a few occasions we were told she WOULD be staying in Texas! haha
So now we are back home in MD and awaiting our next North Wildwood trip. Talk to you soon!
