Dallas trip #2

   There is so much to see and do in Dallas one trip just barely scratched the surface.  This trip was dedicated to an International Convention, but I still had my fair share of experiencing one of the national parks of Dallas.
    We stayed at Cedar Hill State Park, which has nice areas for biking and a nice Lake, as well as very nice bathrooms with hot showers. The water had this clay at the bottom that smelt like the clay we used to use in pottery class in Idaho and we had wayyy too much fun playing with it.

   The park was full of all sorts of snails and bugs

   We even found where the vultures roost!

    The convention was at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium and wow-check it out!

 

 

See us in the mirror? Wow!!!! There were 50,000+ in attendance from all over the world and it was an experience!

Girl's Weekend In Dallas

This weekend I went to Dallas to make new friends, ride at Six Flags, danced away at Gloria's, and went to the Dallas World Aquarium. Everything was fun but   this will focus on my unexpected highlight of the trip, our visit to the aquarium. 

Six flags was real fun, long lines (over an hour per ride), but fun nonetheless. 

   We also walked the city a little. Always an interesting experience there.

   When it came to Gloria's, if you like salsa, marengue, or cumbia, this is the place to go. If we made it there before 10 the cover would've been free, but this was a girl's trip so it took time to get ready and we paid $10, but it was soooo worth it. They served drinks and had an excelenté live band. I am not that great so I called it free dance lessons. A good time was definitly had.

   As for the Dallas World Aquarium, it was so much more than just an aquarium. I could've stayed all day. 

  The aquarium part was neat as always but I was most excited about the indoor rainforest they created. Most animals ran free, so the monkeys were not behind bars and just a few feet from us, the birds were in the trees above our heads, the alligators had no glass blocking our view from the top, and the trees, vines, and nature surrounded us as if we were far from the heart of Dallas. 

These little cuties seemed pretty happy in this corner.

Such a nice view.

The babies usually had their own areas so they can get strong.

This bird was so sweet.

Turtles are always fun.

I had to save my favorite for last. I just loved walking under this guy. If you are in Dallas, this is an absolute must!

My Place

   So I post mostly about my trips and travel so I decided to switch it up for a moment and show you where I am at. I keep it real simple to allow for doing more and I can't imagine this ever changing about me. I live in a 5th wheel and don't buy too much unless it is necessary since I wouldn't have a place to put it either way.

That's it. My little home. I painted it the way I like, I upholstered it the way I like, and I put in my own little details everywhere and now I'm selling it :( but it's to step up my adventure in my life and I knew I wasn't what I planned on living in for good when I got the place but still, it is tough to leave a place that has so much of ME in it. It's a good one and I hope it gives me the resources I need to get out there.
