The Adventures of Sunsette -- Texas again y'all! - Feb. 20

[Alliecat]

"So winter followed us, and it's been bleepin FREEZING for a couple of days.  Literally, freezing.  And below.  Mum finds it amusing that they closed schools for -5C, but they're not used to that down here.  Someone today said it was 'the coldest ever'.  Figures.  We're trying to stay warm.  Of COURSE it's going to be summer again just in time for us to leave.
"Before it got really cold we went to the Fort Worth Zoo.  Scarlett & I didn't get a lot of pictures, and we kinda ran out of time to see everything, but there was a cool hippo tank where we watched 'Bubbles' swim back and forth through a school of fish and then get fed."





"And this penguin posed with Scarlett."



"Today's adventure was the Frontiers of Flight Museum at the Dallas airport.  They really need a better website -- this doesn't do justice at all to the amazing museum and all the cool stuff.  Sooo many planes and you can peek right in and touch stuff.  Once again, we ran out of time to see everything."



"We found this bunch of cool guys (and one gal) modelling pilots' wear over the years."



"This is the actual Apollo 7 capsule!"



"In his Air-Force engine-mechanic days, Mum's dad might have worked on something like this."



"Got our own seat again, hahaha!  We are soooo cool!"



"We're all a-squee over this one.  Isn't it pretty?  Can we take it home?"



"This is a Prowler.  And do I look cold?  Did I mention it was COLD??"



"The museum map is..."



"...a plane!
"I wonder if this is a bit overloaded?  We'd love to have brought home one of the musuem's fazillion cool models.  They wouldn't let us."

"Thanks for reading!
"Love, Sunsette  "
