Coming full circle with JFK

Looking at the building from which President Kennedy was shot in 1963.
Us standing on the grassy knoll mentioned in so many of the FBI reports.

In front of us is the beautiful Old Red Museum, formerly the Old Red Courthouse, which is just down the street from the Sixth Floor Museum.

The graves of President Kennedy, wife Jackie and two of their infant children in Arlington.

While in Dallas, we visited the Sixth Floor Museum, formerly known as the infamous Texas School Book Depository Building from which President Kennedy was shot. We had come full circle since we saw his grave in Arlington National Cemetery earlier in the month. Okay, we did it backwards......but Don tells me that I'm backwards at times and I have to agree. My nose runs and my feet smell. Oh well, take it for what it's worth, and we'll go on from there.
We both thoroughly enjoyed this museum, especially since we're both old enough to recall exactly where we were and what we were doing when we heard of the assassination. It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss if you ever visit the big "D".
