The Dallas Class Reunion trip was the most Fun I have Ever Had. Everything was Perfect. The planning committee did a Excellent Job. It was a great idea to get the Van and SUV for transportation around Dallas. Andrew and Glenn did a wonderful Job as the Pilot/Driver and Roger and Linda did a great Job as Co-Pilot/ Navigator. Even when we got Lost in traffic, we had a great time. We were together Safe and on a fun adventure. We made it to all destinations, intact and on time.
Bar Louie for the Meet and Greet was so Cool. We talked, ate, watched the NBA Game and ate again. We had a Great Time. Half of the food was Free because the waitress kept getting the orders wrong. It was chicken wings and Turkey sandwiches all over the table. "Yes" Houston Rockets won the game. Theodore and Joan, it was your Night.
The tour of the Dallas Stadium and Lunch was Off the Chain. We had a Super Time.
The first Lady, Brenita, requested everyone turn their cell phones down and put it on "V". We sat in the stands, enjoyed the tour. Then we played and took photos on the field. Everyone were wearing their No 1. Cowboy Fan's Bottom with " Earl Wynn " photo, " ****"Earl, we all could feel you on the field with us on the 50 yard line. " We Love and Miss You Brother" ****
We took the tour of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Locker room. Wow. Those girls are Fine. A representative of the cheerleaders was in the Locker Room. He was giving information on how the cheerleaders make the team. Our Class of 1980 Ladies were looking so Beautiful. He was passing out Applications to them. Gertrude got two. We went in the football players Locker room. Linda, Belinda and Barbara was looking for Dez Bryant, BUT all they found was a empty locker. I wonder why? Glenn started a press conference in the media room. We all joined him on stage. The tour escort wanted to kick Glenn and Andrew off of the tour because they representing the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was so Funny !! Glenn hooked him up with a Big Tip afterwards. Go Steelers !!! After the tour we had dinner in the Dallas Stadium private dining area. Very nice atmosphere. The food was awesome. Salad, Pizza, rotisserie chicken, collard greens, candy yams and some delicious desserts. Music was playing, food was good, Vanessa, Gertrude , Brenda, and Davita got the party started with the dancing. We had a great time until Roger fell asleep on the table. Roger had a long night. He deserved a little sleep.
Room with a Clue was " The Bomb" If you have never tried an Escape Room. It is fun but it is one of the most challenging things I have ever done with a group. You really have to work together to escape the room in time. We did not escape but everyone had Fun !!
The African American Museum was very informative. We saw many things from our Past and Present. This is Facts and Reality. It shows as a Race, we have to work harder to have a Better Future. Rynold and Rhoda are living History books. Rynold can remember things that happen in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. The Sixth Floor Museum was very Educational. I wish everyone could see how the people faces looked in the long line outside the building . The museum employee came outside the museum, pulled our class out of the line, and escorted us to the front of the line inside the building. It was Great. I was going to say it was Cool, but it was still Hot inside the building. The tour was awesome and very educational.
All white Night at "Buttoms", Live Band and delicious food. Class of 1980 was looking Good. Beauty, Style, and Class. When we stepped out of the vehicles almost everyone inside the building stop what they were doing, Turned and Smiled. They knew Class when they saw it. All night several people continued to walk up and compliment the group. I had a young man walked up to me and said, " Ole School, you'll are Looking Good and Smooth like Fine Wine !" That was a great compliment. Everything was Perfect. I laughed so hard when Two white Bikers hugged Clyde and singed " Happy Birthday". That was so Cool !!
One of my favorite moments was Relaxing at the pool. We enjoyed talking, listening to Ole School Music, and Dancing. I always enjoy having fun and dancing with my Classmates. Ladies Stay Sweet and Sexy and Gentlemen, Stay Cool and Smooth. All Proud members of AARP. Until we meet again.
