Hickory Creek Park
Hickory Creek, Texas
Today started with a trip to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We were curious to see how money was printed and wanted to learn if there was an easy do-it-yourself method. It was very noticeable that the country's economy must be in bad shape; they couldn't even afford to give samples.
The Historic Stockyards District in Fort Worth was next on our agenda. The area is filled with western heritage. We couldn't leave without indulging in the local bar-b-que and visiting Billy Bob's of Texas (the world's largest honky tonk). Everything here has a western theme - even the cows.
On the way back to the camper, we stopped at the National Scouting Museum. It was almost closing time, but we managed to have enough time to see everything. It was a surprisingly nice museum with a wonderful collection of original Norman Rockwell paintings. Dave relived his days as a scout and I concentrated on beating him at the shooting gallery and the soap box derby race.
Way to go girl - winning at shooting and racing. You guys really covered a lot of territory in a day. I have been to Billy Bob's - hundreds of years ago when I was down there for work.
