Mother’s Day in Dallas. We decided to visit the Dallas Arboretum and were happy we did. It was a beautiful day in the high 70’s. The parking lot was filling fast when we arrived. We strolled the grounds with many an extended family. We kept encountering young Latino girls all dressed up in flowing gowns celebrating their Quinceanera. The photographers were finding all sorts of poses among the flowers, waterfalls and fountains. Of course, there were many flowers in bloom in well-orchestrated scenes, but there were also large grassy expanses and here families had brought their picnic lunches. The gardens also had tepees, cabins, and other play areas for the kids, so it was a real family outing. We arrived at about 11 AM and spent almost the entire day. We had planned on going to the Perot Museum of Science in the afternoon, but it was such a pleasant setting, we couldn’t see leaving. After our pleasant afternoon, we went out to eat a Dos Aces in Terrel, TX for a nice Mexican dinner.
