Sightseeing with Mom

So my mom was here for an entire week. Which is why I haven't posted in awhile. It was a bit of a roller coaster visit. Some ups and downs. My mom and I are practically complete opposites which makes some things quite difficult. Not to mention I put way too much pressure on myself concerning everything running smoothly while she is here. But I can't help it! More tense moments than I would have preferred...the good news is we got through it.

Places we went to while she was here: the Arboretum, Cowboys Stadium, and Pioneer Plaza. We went on a tour of Cowboys stadium. It was worth the price of the tour. The tour guide our group had certainly LOVES working for Jerry Jones! As he went on and on about how great Jerry is! Note to any females that go to Cowboys stadium for a tour...leave your purse in the car, no purses allowed on tours. However, remember to take your camera out of your purse before leaving it in the car! My mom and I left our cameras in our purses and I had to run back to the car twice. Once to put the purses in the car then to go back and get the cameras out of our purses.
We also went to Fort Worth for a day. We found a cute souvenir store in the downtown area but my mom decided she wanted souvenirs of Dallas rather than Fort Worth. So we simply browsed. We also went to a chocolate factory. In my opinion the chocolate factory was the highlight of that day in Fort Worth! I regret not buying more chocolate however!
Overall it was a nice visit. There were some issues but what mother/daughter combo can be together for a full week and not have a few little squabbles? Possibly there are a slight few that can do it. I remember as a child my mom and her sister would always try and convince their parents to stay longer when they would come to town. Now that I'm an adult I can't help but wonder if my mom and her sister were truly serious about that? I like having my mom here for a few days but I also like getting my life back to normal once she has left Dallas....no disrespect meant to you, mom, if you read this!
