As I write this, we are now in Carthage, MO at the Coachlight RV Park and it is a hot 85 degrees at 8 PM. On our 388 mile trip up from Dallas today, it looked as though we were watching spring go backwards, in spite of the heat here. The trees are just starting to bud, whereas in Texas, spring is in full bloom.

Yesterday, though we we taken around Dallas and fortunately for us the traveling King Tut display was in Dallas, on loan from the Smithsonian, I think.

OK ... so I have two pictures of our son-in-law Brooks with the Tut display ... but I couldn't take pictures inside you know.

And here he is imitating the king himself.

In spite of what you see here, the event was awesome. It was hosted by the Dallas Museum of Art and was well handled and displayed. There were many rooms of the Tut artifacts from about 1350 BC that were nicely presented and explained. This is truly a must see if the artifacts come to your city. It is awesome to be able to walk up and look at a chair that is in excellent condition and could be for sale in a garage sale today and then you realize that it is over 5000 years old! There were a lot of personal items from his tomb and that of his family and it was well wort the visit.
