Great Day Out!

Yesterday was my birthday (I take monetary gifts, thanks! hee hee) and Mr. M and I took the day off. We slept in for a bit and then had breakfast at Crackel Barrel. Man I love their hashbrown casserol.

Then we had a Noon appointment at the Dallas Museum of Art to see the King Tut exhibit. We got there about an hour early so looked around the regular parts of the museum. The King Tut exhibit was pretty cool. We opted for the audio tour which gave a little more information than the plaques hanging on all the relics. The last 4 or 5 rooms had nothing but the things that were actually found with the boy King. If you go don't look for the big famous golden mask or casket, its not there. The three things I thought were the coolest. 1. To find out that there were actually 7 (or so) caskets/coffins in all before you got to the mummy. 2. The mummy has never left the Valley of the Kings. 3. One of the pieces they had on exhibit was a little game board that he used to play with and had buried with him to take to the afterlife.

After we were through with the King we met up with my sister who is currently working downtown. Now I didn't bring my camera to the museum because I knew there was absolutely no photography allowed. However I wish I had brought it cause sis took us on a mini tour of parts of downtown Dallas. We ate at a pizza joint (it was ok to me) and then just looked at different buildings and such. Besides having to stop every 30-45 minutes or so so I could pee we really had a good time. Oh, and she brought me a beautiful orchid for my birthday.

That evening we had my birthday dinner at Red Lobster. Man I love crab legs!! And was surprised by a chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream with a candle on top.

I really enjoyed my day!
