Saturday the 14th was my last day in old San Francisco.. After a wonderful breakfast in Union Square, and quick walk around, I headed back to the hotel to pack, and catch the Hotel Shuttle to SFO for my flight to Dallas, TX…
Once in Dallas, I hired a Dodge Avenger to travel between Jim & Marilyn’s (Rowlett, TX) and Louise & Brett’s (Fort Worth).. We spent Sunday at Brett and Louise’s house in Fort Worth for Fathers Day.. After a wonderful BBQ of Chicken & Beef, we all sat down and watched the US Golf Open… What a great day…
Monday, Louise gave me the cooks tour of Fort Worth… Firstly we toured the wonderful golfing facility that is The Colonial Country Club, which is home to the Crowne Plaza Invitational, won this year by Mr Phil Mickelson.. It is also home to a wonderful tribute to the late and great Ben Hogan…
more photos can be found on my flickr account..
That night, we had Texas BBQ at the Railhead Smokehouse with a pound of Brisket, and a pound of smoked Sausage… yum yum yum..
The next day I headed back to Jim and Marilyn’s for the night… In the way i popped into Bass Pro for a spot of shopping, and to avoid the storm that was bearing down on Dallas.. This place is big, and when I say big I mean big.. If you want anything outdoors, you will find it here.. That night we headed out for more meat and BBQ to a Brazilian Steakhouse at the new Firewheel Town Centre… Damn that was a lot of meat, some 15 kinds of meat brought right to your plate..
Wednesday was goodbye to Dallas, and lunch with Marilyn at PotBellies… Boy this place does a good sandwich… Then it was back to Fort Worth and to Brett and Louise’s for my last night in Texas… We had a lovely pasta vegetable bake for dinner, and then we watched the movies Cars with Gabby.. It was an early rise, next morning at 5am, for the trip to DFW Airport and my next destination Detroit..
