Dad Visits Dallas

My dad came to Dallas to visit for 2 weeks in March. Finally! The timing was perfect; the weather in Dallas was just becoming consistently warm and sunny. We did, however, have one very rainy day. Overall, I think dad fell in love with Texas weather--and maybe even Texas itself. We did the usual tourist stuff: the Stockyards, the Fort Worth Zoo, and attempted to take a trip to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Instead, we treated ourselves to one very long day in the car, driving to Houston and back again the same day. That's a long story. Here are some pictures of the better days of his visit:
