We have had a great time in Grapevine, TX. The Vineyards Campground has been such a nice place to call home this past week. Anyone passing through the Dallas, Fort Worth area should check out staying here.
Joe and I had a couple of visits with his friend (Clyde and his wife Pat) from the Navy. When we went to see them at their home we were taken to a real Texas Hamburger Grill.....best hamburger and chili we have had....in downtown Denton, TX.Texans know how to serve up a burger. Clyde also took us for a ride around the area. We saw some beautiful horse ranches.....I was so sorry I had left my camera in our car.....quite impressive. The horse barns were bigger and nicer than most homes I have ever seen and the horses were magnificent creatures.
I need one of those! |
Race day turned out to be a good day. The weather held off. Our seats were up pretty high, but we could see the whole track. It was way fun watching Jeff Gordon go from 34th to the top 5. The race would have been better if there had been more cautions.....as fast as they go there, I am surprised that there were no wrecks.
This picture was taken on Main Street in Grapevine. It does not really show how nice the area is. There are many cute shops for clothes, gardens, jewelry and antiques, and Texas- themed creations. I got a couple of cute tops at Bella Butterflies and we bought a hand-made stone cross at Holy Grounds. We ate lunch at Big Fish. We both got grilled salmon with pineapple salsa....yummy!
Yes....the heron did swallow the fish! |
Mama led her babies to the lake...all 8 of them! |
