I took a quick trip out to Dallas, Texas to see if I wanted to move out there and find a job. I spent some time with my extended family - Randy, Elly, David and Elaina as well as Mimi and Theresa. We had so much fun exploring the city!
I went to work with Mimi on Friday to see what her high school was like. It was fun to see her classroom and meet some of her kids. Then Elly picked me up and took me over to her school. She works at the Arts Magnet High School and it was just recently (well, still in the process) of being remodeled and added on to. It was pretty amazing!
Elly, Mimi, Theresa and I hit the museums one afternoon. We went to the Dallas Museum of Art and saw an amazing JMW Turner exhibit, we also went to the Nasher (where there is a beautiful sculpture garden).
One evening was spent at a Make a Wish fund-raising event. It was quite a show! Randy and David were there building the set and overseeing the event, so Elly and I got to go for free! It was very emotional to listen to their stories, and then watch the kids perform. I had never actually seen a Make-A-Wish event, so it was a real treat!
We spent Mother's Day at Scarborough Fair. "What is that?" you say...well, it is the most extravagant renaissance fair I have ever seen! I don't think words can explain it all...you will just have to view the pictures! There was jousting, glass blowing, knife throwing, tons of artists with their little shops (ceramics, jewelry, woodcarving, hats, wooden mugs, wind chimes), meat on a stick – Elaina’s personal favorite, and so much more! There was even a parade with the king and queen! I felt like I had walked back in time...there were so many people walking around dressed up in costumes...there were even a couple of ogres!! So, here are some pictures of my trip. Enjoy!
