We got to do a lot of fun things while we were there and also help out a little with some projects. The big project Jason and I worked on was building a trellis like structure in their yard for a nice shady area. I think it took longer to dig the holes than it did to actually build the thing. It turned out pretty decent though.
One day we enjoyed a trip into Dallas to eat some quality pizza at a fun little shop in downtown . We saw the area where JFK was shot. We rode a trolley and drank some good coffee.
One night we also went to a huge arboretum that had an orchestra playing and then showed a movie when the sun when down. Another night we ate outside by a lake in Rockwell and went to a movie.
Other highlights were having some time to relax, barbequeing with Jasons family, putting in a row of tile in their kitchen, meeting and playing with their puppy-Jean, seeing some awesome houses outside of dallas on big lots for incredibly cheap,playing some X-Box football, and being with family.
On our way back to Iowa on tuesday, we were able to stop by my relatives in Arkansas and got to visit with them and see the house they had completely gutted, added a second floor and have it almost ready to market.
One funny thing from the trip....Before we left Ames, i was telling Allison about this new country song i liked and was hoping to hear while we drove. Well, we were on the road for almost 24 hours total and never heard it. I kept talking about it and flipping stations trying to find it and Allison was beginning to doubt the song even existed.
The next morning i was driving to work (a three minute commute) and guess what song came on as i pulled out the driveway? yep. good grief.
