Dallas & back in 3 days.

We flew out Thursday to DFW. We had a direct flight, which was awesome. We were there by 2pm & immediately headed to the JFK Memorial. History was never my favorite subject but I do remember a little about JFK & the assassination. A high school boyfriend wrote his senior paper on the theories around his death so mostly what I know comes from that.

We ate at The Foundary, which was downtown by the Old Red Courthouse & Dealey Plaza. It was good for lunch but our waiter was rude. The next day we hit up Cowboys Stadium for a tour. We caught a deal from a guy who had upgraded his self tour tickets to the VIP tour & wanted to sell his self guided tickets. We planned to do the self guided tour ($17.50) & he sold us his tickets for $15. Score! Even if you're not a huge football fan or even a Cowboys fan, the tour is definitely something I recommend if you're in the area.

We toured the football player's locker room & the cheerleader's locker room. We got to walk on the field. We went through the interview room & sat at the table where they do interviews. We went through the stands to see the views from different levels & different angles. We went through the private club where the people with floor seats pre-game party. The tunnel the players run through from the locker room to the stadium runs right through the middle of the club. We saw Jerry's private elevator that takes him to Jerry's Perch, but his suite was only accessible through the VIP tour so we didn't see that. The employees were all super knowledgeable & so nice. The stadium is actually five floors underground & it took a year just to dig the hole. It holds about 100,000 people. The huge t.v. in the middle of the stadium is 17 stories wide. The speakers hanging throughout the stadium are as big as tractor trailers. The place is just amazing. We were there for a little over an hour. There's so much to see & the amount of money spent is just mind blowing. The lockers are made from imported wood (I forget exactly what it's called) but they're $9,000 each & you're not allowed to sit on them (which I found out after I crawled inside one). We looked up the Cowboys' schedule before we left & for some reason we both thought that there wasn't a home game. While we were there Saturday they were setting up for the game vs the Bills. So sad! We considered for a moment trying to get tickets & staying to watch the game. One of the employees told us the nosebleed tickets sell for $90 but he said there's not a bad seat in the house.
