Our trip to Wichita Falls, Texas

We flew out of Harrisburg, PA on Thursday the 19th of August with Justin's girlfriend Stacy. Landed in Charlotte, NC for a 40 minute layover which lasted longer than that. We finally boarded the plane and were number 15 in line for takeoff. We arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth airport about an hour later than we planned. Got our rental car, a Dodge Calibur, and drove the 124 miles to Wichita Falls. Met Justin at the visitor's center on base and got our passes for the weekend. Got to meet a few of his buddies. Went and had supper together at Cracker Barrel. Went to the motel, checked in and hung out for a while. I took Justin back to the base and he showed me where a few things were. Told me where to meet him the next day for lunch. The motel provided a nice breakfast for us. Stacy just loves Texas shaped waffles. She just loves making them. When we were here in Texas before she just thought that they were the greatest thing. We had a lazy morning Friday, went to the base to meet Justin for lunch, parked in what I thought was the parking lot he told me to park in, but it was the wrong one. We only got to see him for a few minutes before he had to be back at class. Spent the afternoon buzzing around the city and that is when we found the "Falls". There really isn't much else to do there other than the falls except shop. After we picked Justin up, we visited the "Falls" again, so he could see them and we took some pictures, then went out to eat at Olive Garden. It was busy and we waited quite a while before we got our dinner. Saturday we were going to go check out a mini golf place, but it was already so hot, 100+ at 11 am, we decided just to go visit air conditioned stores. We went to Hobby Lobby, what a neat place. After that we went to the Mall and ate lunch and shopped. Rachel really liked the roaches. They have a real nice mall. Thinking of something different to do, we decided to go check out Oklahoma. Well, it is more desolate than the part of Texas we were in. It was too far to really go to any of the cities, so we went back to Wichita Falls. We then tried to find some souvenirs. The tourist center didn't have any, nor had we found any in the mall. We could find ones that said Texas on them, but we wanted Wichita Falls. We asked and they sent us to the "Pecan Shed" and we were able to get some things there and also some really good fudge. We then went to Logan's Roadhouse to have supper. It is one of those places that has the peanuts and you throw the shells on the floor. It was a delicious meal. Then we went back to the motel to hang out and then to bed. Sunday morning we did Hobe Sound Bible Church on the computer. Ate with Justin, and hung out at the "Falls". We took Justin back to the base about 5:30 and headed back to Dallas-Fort Worth area to get our early morning flight to Harrisburg by way of Cincinnati. It was 101 degrees in DFW at 8:30 at night. Left DFW at 7am and were back in Harrisburg at 12:30pm. Got Stacy home and we stopped and bought some sausage and chips and Tastycakes to bring home with us. We arrived home at 11:15 pm Monday night. Went back to work to rest up on Tuesday!
