but had I to drive to the Dallas Fort Worth Airport to pick up Dan at 9 pm. It was very confusing around the airport. People said to just follow the signs, but knowing which terminal to go to is usually helpful. We went swimming in the pool by my apartment when we got back.On Saturday we got up early to go to a Kettle bell workout at the Village Country Club. After the hard workout I showed Dan the pool, the putting green, tennis courts, driving range, and fitness trail. There are lakes along the fitness trail that has Coy Fish and turtles in them so we watched them for a bit. We made delicious 
chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast then got ready to go to Fort Worth. When we were all ready to leave we couldn't because my car wouldn't start. For some reason the headlights were left on...must have been from the frustrations at the airport. I called my Michigan friends from my apartment complex and asked for a jump. Luckily it worked! Dan and I made it to Fort Worth just in time for the cattle drive! We were starving and hot so we went to Billy Bob's for lunch and to be in air conditioning. We both got a Texas BBQ Brisket sandwich, fries, and fried Green Tomatoes. It was very good! We walked around the huge inside of Billy Bob's and 
checked out the dance floors, gift shop, and famous 
people hand prints on the walls. Dan wanted to go try on some cowboy boots so we went to some gift shops and checked out a boot store. Dan was told he has $800 feet because his shoe size is hard to find. When we got back to Dallas we met my Michigan friends at a bar called the Regal Beagle and attempted to play darts. I wasn't a 
good teammate.
On Sunday we went to Plano to have brunch and visit with Dan's cousin Meghan, her husband Brian, and their kids Liam, Aiden, and Nolan. The brunch was amazing and entertaining! There was baked french toast, quiche, bacon, yogurt,
chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast then got ready to go to Fort Worth. When we were all ready to leave we couldn't because my car wouldn't start.

and lots of fruit. In the afternoon we went to the Dallas Aquarium and walked around the Kennedy assassination area. The aquarium had a wide variety of fish and birds as well as a cheetah, spiders, snakes, and frogs. For dinner we went to Central Market to find food. It is an awesome grocery store that has tons of samples of food and drinks and lots of fresh pre-made items to take home and make. We got two pasta 
salads, sushi, coconut chicken, goat cheese and mushroom 
quesadillas, and seafood enchiladas. We stopped at Pinkberry to take home some dessert for after dinner. Pinkberry is a frozen yogurt place. It is like ice cream, but it is actual yogurt so it is very healthy and low in fat. I had a coupon to get two free so we got to pick the flavor and add as many toppings that could fit in the bowl. I got coconut and chocolate yogurt with brownies, chocolate covered corn flakes, milk chocolate shavings, chocolate toffee syrup, and chocolate crunch balls. Dan got a twist of original and chocolate yogurt with a bunch of toppings. After dinner I had to get ready for the busy week and then we watched a movie. Dan got to hang out at my apartment all day Monday until he got picked by a shuttle for his 5:30 flight back to South Carolina. He got to witness an exciting fight in the parking lot by my apartment.
