Big Day in Big D!

Today we introduced our Australian sisters to some of the important history of Dallas and of the United States. It was their first official "Dallas" Day! The day began with a wonderful introduction to the history of Dallas with native Dallasite, Ms. Melinda Smith. Ms. Smith teaches journalism at UA and she took a few minutes to speak to the girls about what life was like in Dallas during the time of the Kennedy assassination and the years following.

 

 

After the wonderful introduction to Dallas from Ms. Smith, our guests were ready to see the sites! Their first stop was the George W. Bush Presidential Library. The students enjoyed the museum and learned a great deal about President Bush and this part of recent American history.

 

 

After the Bush Library, our guests were ready for a typical Dallas lunch so we went to Snuffer's for the best hamburgers and cheddar fries in Dallas!



 

Fortified for the afternoon, the students were ready to visit the 6th Floor museum, the museum dedicated to the legacy of JFK in the exact location where President Kennedy was assassinated. The girls were very curious about JFK and the important role of the Kennedy family in the USA.

 

 

What a wonderful day!!!!! Much love from Big D!
