We are on the road back home. Well . . . almost. I figured that as long as we were in Dallas we might as well make a stop by Dealey Plaza where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.The plaza seems such a peaceful place. It is hard to imagine that a president of our nation was killed here by a shot fired from the sixth floor of the red brick building in the background.
The Old Red Museum building sits on the southeast corner of the plaza with it's gargoyle on the roof and wonderfully intricate staircases inside. At the very least, it was an interesting building but also housed some of the early oil companies of Texas.
This structure is one of three here in the plaza that pay homage to a man who sacrificed his life serving his country and encouraging us all to "ask not what your country can do you you but ask what you can do for your country."
Ben, Jenn and Gaye stand at the memorial with its flag at half mast in tribute to our president.
