Also officially known as "Katie Day!". We decided to figure out a day to take Katie somewhere to just enjoy the day, rest, have fun together, and take pictures of whatever caught our interest, since Christmas had been such a busy time for her. So we kidnapped her and took the light rail train to downtown Dallas! Thus officially the second sunday of every January from here on out will known as Katie Day, in her honor. =D
The travel on the train takes about 40 minutes so we just chilled, while Alley and Shawn were playing around with (and on) the bars inside the car, using them like monkey bars, then decided to find out if they could get all of the way from one end of the car, climbing. Hehe, great fun to watch.
What time is it? Time for Katie Day!
Alley threatening the populous of Dallas
We had lunch at Cafe Brazil, where I had their half order of pancakes with fruit. Alley was "spying" on people via her camera ;)
Trying to hitch a ride on the train
Was fun to see the different architecture in the city
Mad dash across the street =)
Shawn climbed up one of the transit poles
This was fun to play with! It's solid rock, but floating because of a fountain under it and the water made it spin.
We went underground one point to catch the train
A random sign encouraging people to play on this smallish patch of grass
Michael and Becky on the lawn we're permitted to play on =)
We found the Dallas Museum of Modern Art!
This bench was curved very interestingly, we took advantage of it ;)
Our own "modern art" session. (We did make the guard nervous while roaming the place. This is the United States of "Don't Touch That", hehe)
Tim's version of Michelangelo's "The Thinker"
Pretending to push Alley in the reflecting pool =P We decided that we'd probably had the guard at near heart attack for long enough and so continued on from the museum.. hehe
There are free trolley rides! So we climbed aboard and rode for a while
Back out on the streets of Dallas and home now =)
Till next time, Dallas!
