This little town in Texas has secrets. One is Babe’s. The other is that it is supposedly the most haunted town in Texas. Home to John Wilkes Booth (yes, THAT one), a haunted opera house, a creepy jail and the Nutt House (surprisingly not an asylum). Here for dinner, the majority of the touristy placesContinue reading “USA! Granbury”

USA! Fort Worth
Everything is bigger in Texas, or so the saying goes. I guess for some things I would have to agree but not everything.

USA! The Grassy Knoll
Finished up at the museum and had to walk to the infamous Grassy Knoll. The wooden picket fence is gone, replaced with a memorial. Even though there was a section about conspiracies in the museum, walking around almost every conversation on the knoll was about assassination conspiracy theories.

History lesson! Shopping and eating took a back seat to taking a self guided tour through the JFK Museum at Dealey Plaza.

USA! My First Squirrels
Heading back from Hearst Castle we decided to take in the view of the ocean. Right beside the car park was a bunch of squirrels happy to eat our peanuts. First time outside of a documentary or a cartoon.
USA! Hearst Castle – The Tour
We decided on the Grand Rooms Tour. Worth it. Best for first-time visitors, this overview of Hearst Castle offers an itinerary through the main building called Casa Grande: the Assembly Room, Refectory, Morning Room, Billiard Room and Theater. Tours begin outdoors with several stairs to negotiate on the terraces.
