Quick stop for lunch with my cousin

As part of my goal to see all 50 states, I decided to head south for Spring Break so I could check off Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Most of my stops were geology related :)

Quick stop for lunch with my cousin

We were passing through Dallas on our way to Enchanted Rock but decided to stop in a see my cousin.  He lived nearby and worked in downtown Dallas.  We went to a restaurant for lunch but I don't remember which one it was - all I remember was discussing the new "Killers" album.  After lunch we walked around the area where JFK was shot.  We saw the "grassy knoll" and the window that the sniper shot JFK from.  I think there is a little memorial now on the grassy knoll.  I can't remember which window it was anymore but it was scary to think that just anybody could be up in some window waiting to shoot you.  This was all before our time, but still a really interesting piece of history.
