Larry & I had such a
great vacation. We went to visit Holly & Cindy in Dallas.
Below are just a few of the pictures we took to show you the fun we had
and the cool things we saw. I have made a DVD slide show if you
ever want to see the majority of the pictures. |

We had a 3.5 hour
layover in Minneapolis. So we went shopping at the Mall of America
which is owned by the same people as West Edmonton Mall. The mall
is smaller than WEM but it is the largest mall in the U.S.. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Look out stores here I
come!!!! |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Larry was pretty
nervous with all the stores and me on the loose with my wallet. |
|
 |
The mall has a cool
indoor amusement park. Larry said he would rather dig his eyes out
with his keys than to go on the roller coaster. What a drama
queen. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Lego Land was really
something to see. All the statues are made completely from Legos. |
|
 |
Can you guess which one
is made from Legos? |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
This one reminds me of
my boss. |
|
 |
Now that we made it to
Dallas we have to figure out these crazy freeways. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Here we see our lovely
hostesses. Holly & Cindy have a gorgeous house and treated us like
royalty. |
|
 |
This is there backyard
where we spent a lot of time ... especially in the pool. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Miss Holly and Larry
are goofing around the pool. No running on the deck girls. |
|
 |
"Damn it's hot out
here. Where's that lazy pool boy with our drinks? I swear if
he wasn't so pretty he would be so fired!" |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The house is so big it
even has it's own receptionist. Actually it's Holly doing what she
does best ... wheelin' & dealin'. You go girl. |
|
 |
Here I am enjoying the
sun in gay village in Dallas. Great place for eye candy, shopping
and partying. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Gay bars set up the way
the way gay bars should be. |
|
 |
This is a night shot of
the gay village from our hotel room. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Each room in the hotel
is equipped with a man-whore. Isn't mine cute? |
|
 |
The people in Dallas
really know how to advertise a car wash. The car wasn't dirty but we
had it cleaned anyway. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The guys in Texas are
very friendly. We went swimming with my Bear411 buddy in Dallas. |
|
 |
There are lots
beautiful buildings in the downtown area. As you can see the pan-
handlers really have to work hard for their money. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Some of the building
just seem to go up and up forever. |
|
 |
Exterior shots of this
56-story tower were used on the TV show "Dallas" as JR's office building.
During the time the show was filmed, the exterior was plain glass but in 1987 all the
glass was replaced to create a lattice design. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The building in the
center is Bank One Center. It is a 60 story granite and glass
building. All the builders in Texas must be size queens. |
|
 |
Downtown you will also
find beautiful historical architecture. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Referred to as "Old
Red" this palace style county courthouse was built with red Pecos
sandstone in 1891. |
|
 |
The silver sky scraper
in the front is the 72- story Bank of America Plaza. The building
is outlined with 2 miles of radiant emerald green argon tubing which can
be seen glowing for miles in the evening. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Here we are enjoying
some cool drinks in the revolving cocktail lounge of Reunion Tower. |
|
 |
Poor Miss Cindy puts up
a brave front for her allergy shot. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The city of Grapevine
has some gorgeous historical buildings which remind me of the Whyte Ave.
district in Edmonton. |
|
 |
I could have done a lot
of damage in Grapevine's trendy shops but Larry was keeping a close eye
on me. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
"Wow you really do have
buns of steel!" |
|
 |
The girls empty their
pockets at the farmer's market. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
You can't say you've
been to Dallas if you don't go to Southfork Ranch where they filmed the
TV show "Dallas". |
|
 |
Here is the pool that
Patrick Duffy used to prance around in his little black speedos. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
This must be how Sue
Ellen felt when she saw Southfork for the first time. |
|
 |
JR started a lot of
family fights at this very table by the pool. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
This is my tribute to
Kristen who fell to her death from this balcony. |
|
 |
The driveway reminds me
of all the times Pam would screech her car's tires when she was pissed
at Bobby. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
What a great place to
eat your Fruit Loops in the morning. |
|
 |
Good ol' Jock still
keeps an eye on the family. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Who would have thunk it
... they have Texas Longhorns in Texas! |
|
 |
JR usually got what was
coming to him. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Lucy's wedding dress
... they even let Larry try it on. |
|
 |
Oh yes ... we got to
touch Patrick Duffy's hand prints. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Of course I have to
include Victoria also. |
|
 |
How y'all doin? |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Bye girls ... thank you
so much for a great time. |
