Yeehaw!

Eryn spent the last two years working full time and completing an online Masters of Library Science program. She'd never been to Texas Woman's University, but when it was time to receive that diploma, she decided to make the trip south... and she wanted us to go, too!

We flew into Dallas, and the first order of business was finding some good Mexican food. Our GPS first took us to an empty lot that used to be a Mexican restaurant. Very disappointing :( We finally found this:
Friday morning, we drove north to Denton, home of TWU, a beautiful campus on a "hill".
In Texas, everyone puts their hand on their heart as they sing the national anthem!
You can barely make out Eryn in the middle, next to the yellow robe with her arm in the air.
Whizzing past...
Check out the cowboys!
Next, we cranked the AC and drove back to Arlington for a Rangers game.
I was, literally, the only person in the park cheering for the Angels. I really don't care but thought someone should be on their side. I/we were losing miserably... until the top of the 9th inning. With two outs, the Angels rallied... big time... scoring 5 runs! I think the go-ahead run was on base when the Rangers finally retried the side - and the game.
A cool fireworks show, set to Broadway tunes, followed the game.

Our day's adventure was not over! We walked back to the hotel, loaded up the car and searched the GPS for the nearest Waffle House.
For $20, the whole family filled up. (Notice the grits!)
Saturday, it was time for me to pack up and head home to the hilly Northwest. But I'd seen Whataburger signs at every exit, so lunch was a Whatacatch fish sandwich and a peach pie. Yum.
Yeehaw! :)
