Road Trip Day #4 - Dallas, TX

Today, I was sure that someone was going to find the four of us completely melted away on the sidewalk. I am not sure why it is so darn hot in Dallas, but I will not be returning in the summertime *ever* *again*. That being said, we stuck it out and had a really fun filled day. Breakfast as usual downstairs was followed by a trip to the American Railroad Museum in Fair Park. If we thought it was hot outside, we were proven otherwise when we stepped into the train cars. We got some postcards to mail and the kids got whistles and that was that. After that, we decided to stick around Fair Park and go to the aquarium. It is not *the* Dallas Aquarium, but it is much cheaper and much smaller and when Leo runs away to see the fish at the other end of the room, I can still catch him. We ate lunch on the benches inside because I could not bear to stand outside and make the sandwiches, let alone eat anywhere but in A/C. We had a really fun afternoon swim, the water in this pool is so warm that even I got in and swam with the kids. We got Leo this really nifty swim tube so he could float by himself and both kids cant get enough of the water. Dinner was yummy at Milk and Honey Jerusalem Grill. Both kids fell asleep on the way there, I can imagine how exhausted they were just from the heat alone. After dinner, we came across the landing strip for Dallas/Love airport and stopped for a few minutes to watch the planes. Very very cool. Bedtime was longer than ever before, but we are on vacation, so I cant blame them too much. Tomorrow, we are off to Lubbock, Texas and hope that the drive is as easy as pie and that we leave the humidity way way way behind us!
