We arrived at this very nice campground, The Vineyards, operated by the city of Grapevine in Texas on April 27th a week before guests started arriving. This is not the typical municipal campground. Before the rally we had time to visit with our friends Bob & Lynette Groves and our daughter Kristine and her family. We also found out some of Texas wine is pretty good and had the opportunity to bottle our own. During the 11 day rally we had four bus tours, games, meals, entertainment and work. Our bus tours included a VIP tour of the largest indoor sports arena in the world (the Dallas Cowboy Stadium). Everything in Texas is BIGGER I have to admit that, even though we are not football fans, it was quite impressive standing on that end zone. We toured Fort Worth and Dallas. Our tour of Dallas included The 6th Street Book Depository Museum and Dealey Plaza as well as sites made imfamous by JFK's assasination. Our bus driver was a historian whose focus was that time in history. The Dallas/Fort Worth area has so much to offer as far as history and entertainment. We have visited before because our daughter and her family live there but, we were glad to have another opportunity to see the sites some ofwhich we have not seen before.
This is Part 1, Part 2 to follow soon.
