Ok, this is what Denisa and I have discussed. We talked about three days, so that is what we have planned for.
We figured we could do one day in Fort Worth at the Stockyards: www.fortworthstockyards.org Then we could have a picnic dinner or lunch at the Fort Worth Nature Preserve: www.fwnaturecenter.org
One day we would visit the Dallas World Aquarium and Zoo: www.dwazoo.com
And ride the free trolleys to get an overview of downtown Dallas. If we wanted to splurge, we could eat at one of the many restaurants downtown, or just grab a quick fast food lunch. We usually take the light rail down there as it is easier, but if you'd rather we drive, that's not a problem. Actually, paying for parking might be cheaper than buying rail tickets for all of us!
One day we would visit the Sixth Floor Museum: www.jfk.org
That same day we could also do some other downtown things like the Old Red Courthouse: www.oldred.org Or just explore, or just come home and enjoy each other's company.
As far as food is concerned, I think we will could do what we've done in the past: Flint and Anette take one main meal, Mom and Dad another, and Denisa and I will take care of all the rest! They would probably need to be fairly easy and quick meals to put together as we will be running around during the day.
There are other things to see and do around here, but these are just the ones we've picked. If you want to do something else, just let us know. Our feelings won't be hurt. :-) For instance, if you have your heart set on seeing Southfork Ranch (of "Dallas" fame), we can do that! :-) It's actually just a few minutes from our house.
Flint, do you have your tickets yet? Please let us know the dates and times.
Mom and Dad, do you plan on seeing anything else in Texas, like the Alamo? If so, that would need to be an overnight trip. I'd love to go there again if you are up to it. It's been awhile since we've been to San Antonio.
Please let us know your thoughts. Honestly, I want this to be fun for everyone and I will not be offended if you have suggestions to make it better!

I was hoping those websites would come across as live links, but obviously I don't know how to do that!

LaDawn,
Thanks for the reunion info. I was glad to see the web addresses and will look them up. I'm surprised they didn't just automatically link up when you typed them,too. Oh well..I'll try cutting and pasting and see how that works.
Flint is waiting for me to get my surgery scheduled before getting tickets so he hasn't got them yet. My doctor's father is in a coma and has been out for while. And I'm just not sure how you really go about scheduling a surgery so ...I have to make a dr. appt just to figure that out.
cool. I would really like to make dinner one night.
does anyone have any problems with eating curry??? Tumeric??? Cumin??? Let me know.
I have tried posting some pics from the state competition, but it isn't cooperating :(. but If I can't get it to work, I'll show them to y'all once you are down here.
As Anette indicated, we've kind of been waiting on tickets until we know what is going on with surgery, but I'll probably go ahead and book something at the end of April no matter what. I was kind of looking forward to driving the Corvette, but I don't think that many hours of sitting would be good for her.
