Waco & Dallas

After we left Arkansas we headed right back for Texas! This time we stopped in Waco! We started of the morning with a trip to the laundry map. And then proceeded to visiting our chosen landmarks!

Then we took a quick look at the Dr. Peper Museum

Dr. Pepper is kinda a big deal in Texas!

The trip started to get more and more rooted in history. The more time we spent traveling, the more we craved learning about the past. It was a time of soul searching and introspection as we all looked at past events and wondered what it meant for our lives today.

Down this dirt road was where the 1993 Branch Davidian Masacre took place

We wondered if it was okay for us to look at the memorial since it is on private land and still owned by the Davidians. Thanks to google we learned that as long as the gate is opened you can visit he memorial but you can’t go past the church. We entered with caution.

Reading each name was sad… some of the children were so tiny

There was even a small Memorial for those who died in the Oklahoma City bombing (because of thr connection).

This new church stands in the spot where the actual massacre took place (it was heartbreaking to be standing in such a spot).

We of course left the site with a lot of questions and started googling away to find some answers. You know you’ve made a good choice to visit a place when it gives you the urge to think and learn and ask a lot of questions. The more we traveled on this trip… The more places like these we found.

We made it to Dallas (My favorite Texas citg so far)

Visited the exact Spot JFK was assasinated

Arabella said the bull “needed to calm down”

TBC…
