If we do the above activities that would be great. But if indeed we get in a day early would like to visit Dealey Plaza. When living and working in Washington, DC, I recall how we all agonized at the Dept. of Labor awaiting word from Dallas. Several days later I was activated for the day along with my Marine Corps Reserve Infantry platoon to March in the President's funeral procession and the sights and sounds of that day are still very much with me.

SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM AT DEALEY PLAZA
Re-creation Of the Kennedy's Assassination
Address: 411 Elm Street Dallas 75202 United States
This is a permanent exhibition of the tragic events leading up to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The museum was opened in 1989, and is located in the Texas School Book Depository building, where Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly shot the late President. Displays include a moving overview of the time period, and the life and accomplishments of the 35th President of the United States. Enlarged police photographs, news footage, and audio cassettes allow visitors to re-visit the tragic events of November 22, 1963. Who knows who shot JFK (the Warren Commission notwithstanding), but it will give you pause seeing that Oswald's alleged shots may have been easier than photography or newsreels would indicate. Audio cassette tours are available in French, Italian, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish, in addition to English. Special audio tours are designed for children ages 6-12.

And since we are flying SWA, I plan on bringing my golf clubs as bags fly free with them. And I want to see how many bad shots I hit before somebody in my foresome gives me a "head-slap."
What fun!
