Days 31, 32, 33, & 34 May 9-12 Dallas, Fort Worth, Grapevine …….. and Arlington!

We arrived in Grapevine, Tx  on Saturday, but cancelled our walking tour of historic downtown Grapevine because the weather seemed to be threatening.  It had not rained much during our driving time, but the rains were impressive at night.  And while other nearby areas had experienced dangerous winds and storms, we had been spared.  And then the waters at our Vineyard Campground Lake began to rise. 

We continued our tour with a Sunday morning breakfast at the Southfork Ranch, home of the TV series "Dallas". 

This is what happens when you take a Silly Guy to breakfast at  Southfork.

JR was so impressed that we came to his ranch on such a rainy day. 

Since it was too wet to walk on the grounds,
we just had to visit Bobby Ewing's bedroom. 

Then we drove through the campus of Southern Methodist University and
toured the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

The beautiful sculptures of the Pioneer Cattle Drive. 

At the ATT Stadium, we felt right at home in Jerry Jones' game day box.
He also has a private elevator  to the box and to the tunnel system. 

And what trip to the home of the Dallas Cowboys would be complete without a visit to the locker room
of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.  Sorry, guys, it must have been their day off! 

Then, sports fans, we visited the home of the Texas Rangers.
This view is from the press box, while the groundskeepers prepare the field. 

In the tunnel under the stadium, our Adventure Caravan fans found a photo op.

But while we were out having fun, Tex was watching the water rise at the Grapevine Vineyards RV park.
In the water, you can see a picnic pavilion, a barbecue grill, a  picnic table and an electric hookup box.  We knew it was time to leave…and hoped to find another RV park.

Our wagon masters and tailgunners were happy to find
that the Dallas /Arlington KOA had enough spaces and much drier land.
A moving day pancake breakfast got us up and moving,
departing and relocating our caravan  by early afternoon.
