Now that we are back home from Dallas, I was able to find some pictures to compare “then and now” pictures from the 1980s with last week in Dallas. Here goes…
At the top of Reunion Tower, 1989 and 2018:

Alas, we must get back to the real world, so we say bye to Dallas! It was a neat trip back to see old sights and new. This is where we started 31+ years ago! And now we are ready for our own bed in our house! Let’s go!
Our flight was delayed for over 1-1/2 hours so the flight maintenance crew could work on some “items”. So we landed at Dulles at 8:30 instead of 6, and we got home at 9:45. But we made it home! We thank God for His travelling mercies!

DFW Airport is located in Grapevine, Texas, and is the headquarters for American Airlines. We were driving down one of the main streets in Grapevine and saw a sculpture on the corner, so we stopped to take a look. It is the Grapevine 9-11 Memorial. Two American Airlines flights – 11 and 77 – were hijacked (and United flights 93 and 175) on 9-11 and used in the attack. This memorial remembers the flight crews from all four flights, as well as the first responders, the police and firefighters. It is quite a stunning memorial.
