As I may have mentioned a few times, this was our first trip to the USA and coming from the UK where we don’t have too many skyscraper skylines, we were pretty excited to see it while in Dallas which is a pretty big city. Every time I saw pictures and videos of the city […]

As soon as we knew we were landing in Dallas we knew we had to learn more about President Kennedy and his assassination which happened in downtown Dallas. We were excited to learn that there was a JFK Museum in Dallas called the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza which had loads of information about the […]
We’ve always wanted to go to the USA. Something about growing up with American tv, sitcoms, kids programmes and reality tv maybe? Or maybe we just relate far too well with The Simpsons! I always imagined we’d go to New York first maybe or even Florida like so many people in our country do. A […]
