Cowboy Stadium and Stockyards
Hurrah for those Cowboys! Hurrah for our friend Dick! Andrew's and my great friend Dick Steed called with an offer we couldn't refuse last weekend. Dick is a season ticket holder to the Cowboys, and he had some tickets for the open house for season ticket holders to preview the stadium and the food. The food was half off, still shock-inducing pricey, and we could roam freely around the stadium. The huge jumbotron was incredible, and I am afraid that when Andrew and I go with my parents to the Tech/Baylor game there, we might not be able to pay attention to the actual people on the field, as we will be watching them on the jumbotron. We also walked all the way to the top, and I was overcome with a slight bought of fear of heights. My goodness that is one steep section...and I'm just hoping if we're near there for the game, that no one around me jumps or drinks...is that asking too much? Probably, but if we all cross our fingers, I think our powers will produce a VERY calm crowd...as though they're at the opera. That's what I'm hoping for!

After the tour we had the brilliant idea to go grab a burger from the Love Shack in the Stockyards. Um, well brilliant until we found out that they had the not-so-brilliant idea to make an entirely open air restaurant in Texas. Seriously. I mean, I can't eat a burger in 100 plus heat, and those misters aren't going to do much to cool me, but will make those fries super soggy. So we scratched Love Shack, but we had already paid for Stockyard parking, and Andrew had never been down there, so we grabbed some food at H3 and then toured the place. Lots of screaming kids, and some people all dressed up in old time cowboy gear. MMMMM, breathe in that good ole' step back in time! Wait, that's horse poo. Oh well, we got a picture there, and hung out at a neat Fort Worth tourism highlight.
