Dallas – Spring Break 2010

I was not able to do a daily blog post during our Spring Break Trip so here it is in one post.

We left Amarillo last Sunday after church. We stopped in Denton and ate at one of my favorite places, Fuddruckers.

We then proceeded to our hotel in the Dallas area.

Monday, we headed out to the Ripley’s Museum.
