Anniversary Fun!


Happy 6th Anniversary to us! :) Tyson and I decided to do something special to mark our anniversary, so we booked a tour of downtown Dallas...riding Segways! :) I was a little nervous being 6 1/2 months pregnant, but it was super easy, and I felt very safe riding the Segway. Although it was pretty windy, the weather was mild, so that made for a nice experience. We got to see parts of Dallas and learn about the history in a way that we never would have before.


First, they trained us on how to "drive" the Segway. It was so easy! I felt comfortable riding on it after about 5 minutes of practice!
Then we made several stops as we "glided" around the downtown area. We stopped at Dealey Plaza where I got a picture of Tyson on the grassy knoll, and one of the book depository.

Then we saw the Old Red Courthouse...a really cool building!
We also stopped at Pioneer Park to see the bronze longhorns and cowboys.

Our tour guided (in the green jacket) was really nice, and did a great job leading us around and giving us the history of all the places we went.

We also saw this great view of downtown when we stopped at City Hall.

It was a really fun experience, and I would definitely recommend it! The tour company should be posting more pictures of our tour soon!

Looks like fun you guys, happy anniversary! I think you should consider wearing the helmets all the time. :)

@Beth,

Sarah actually does make me wear a helmet at home...I've got a bad habit of running into door frames.

Tyson,
I thought the picture of you on the grassy knoll looked pretty natural. :)
