We woke up and headed in to Dallas. Our RV park, is called the Plantation, and is in Sunnyvale. It is a really nice place and is just outside of Dallas. We went into the city and went to see the School Book Depository, where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. We saw the building and the spot where he was shot was marked with an X in the road. There was a museum there, but it was very expensive, and we didn’t think it was worth the money, we’d all seen the History Channel. We stopped by the Visitors Information Bureau, and they actually told us there isn’t much to do in Dallas. They gave us information on the Texas Rangers game, because we’d been thinking about going to that. They also told us about some stuff in Fort Worth, and we decided to go there ASAP.
We got to Forth Worth at about 3:50pm and there was a Cattle Drive at 4. We parked and they had the weirdest parking meter system ever, but we paid and saw the drive. It was unimpressive and was just a stupid tourist gimmick thing, but was free. They had the Texas High School Rodeo finals coming up, but not until the weekend, so we saw the rodeo facility, and went to a saloon. It turned out to be the bar they used in the show Walker Texas Ranger, it was called CDs in the show, and they had pictures of them filming Chuck Norris in there, and it had won a ton of awards for western bars. For being in the touristy area of Fort Worth, it was full of locals; we were the only tourists. We got a few beers and they were cheap; 2 or 3 dollar pints. We went into a knife store and it was ok, but the 1 employee in there was unhelpful and had no sense of humor so we left. We got recommendations for a steak house from some guys on the street having a beer, and they recommended H3 or Cowtown; but said to check out both places before we made a decision. H3 was way cooler and cheaper so we went there. The seats at the bar were saddles. It was probably the best steak id ever eaten, I got a few ribs too, and they were spectacular. The sauce was great. The steak I got was a 32 ounce porterhouse that Mark and I split. I got a salad too with homemade blue cheese dressing. Whitson said it made him like salad again. We had a few beers there; Bulls Butt was good, and was bottled and brewed in Fort Worth. We also hade Shiner beer, which is a local Texas beer, and we’d gotten a pitcher of it in Nashville, so I knew it tasted familiar. After dinner we went to a pawn shop, which was terrible. They were selling stuff at retail prices, and didn’t have anything cool; we thought Texas pawnshops would be magical, turns out otherwise, so far at least.
