a Tulsan in Texas

i'm spending a week in Texas this week on a small vacation with Steph.  we are predominantly staying at her parents' place in argyle (close to Ft. Worth).  i'll be reviewing some of the things we do as a road trip review for my favorite Tulsans!



today we went to downtown Dallas to see the JFK assassination site.  i'm a big history buff, so this was a necessity.  we were originally going to go to the 6th floor museum, but they want $14 each to go in.  as i'm a history buff that's balling on a budget, i didn't need to kill the presidents in my pocket to see where one of our greats was shot. 

instead, we walked to the grassy knoll and looked from there.  then we went to Northpark mall in Dallas, which i would really recommend for Tulsa shoppers.  it has all sorts of designer shops from Burberry to LV, the typical stores we are used to, and my personal three favorite stores: American Apparel, Metro-Park, and Urban Outfitters. 

i had soup at Soupman, a franchise made by the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld.  i wanted the lobster bisque but they didn't have it today.  the bisque available was shrimp.  i had it.  it was very good, maybe the best bisque i've ever had (and I've eaten the lobster bisque at the Remington).  unfortunately, the hipster girl working there was in no way comparable to the Nazi and there was no chance to hear, "No soup for you!"
