My Mom's visit

My mom came to visit me last weekend.  Regina Hiatt came with her.  For those of you who don't know who "Jean" is, she is a long time family friend, neighbor, fellow ward member (of my church), my mom's bike riding buddy, and like a second mom to me.  I was excited that she would come all the way to Texas to visit and spend her fall break.

We had a good time.  We ate good food and visited several places I had not been in the DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth) area.  Those include the 6th Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (Texas School Book Depository) where JFK was killed.  We also went to Fort Worth Stockyards/Water Gardens (which I have been to before). We also went to the Dallas World Aquarium, and the Texas State Fair.
