GTK : Gone to Kansas

We have been really bad about not getting our post up-to-date. We've stayed at alot of state parks, so we don't have an internet connection, usually.

I'm sitting outside a Schlotzky's in Hillsboro, Texas, using their free wifi connection. I don't know if it's ALL Schlotzky's or only in Texas (it began in TX!), but they have free wifi at all their locations, I believe.

Chris is eating while I write this.

Anyway...we will try to bring our journal up to snuff later, but I wanted to just let you know we are at least heading toward Kansas now. The GTK in my post title is a play on the old "GTT" or "Gone to Texas" that people would report in the U.S. about people.

We have learned a LOT about Texas history and better understand the whole Alamo, Texas Republic, etc.-thing now.

We just left the Texas Heritage Museum that has a really nice presentation about Texas' involvement in military endeavors over the years. It formerly was the "Confederate" museum, but now they have displays and research materials all the way up the the Iraqi mess.

Well, I guess I will go get something to eat, too. We are going toward Glen Rose to see the dinosaur tracks and probably visit the Creation Evidences Museum. (I will try to keep Chris from being either arrested, lynched, or otherwise harrassed....)
