King Tut and the 6th Floor Museum



I met with a friend today, and we went on a Dallas tour. First, we went to lunch at Whataburger, then we went to the Dallas Museum of the Arts to see the King Tut exhibit. After touring the museum, we went to the famous 6th Floor Museum where Lee Harvey Oswald set up his sniper 'nest' and shot President Kennedy. Unfortunately, no pictures were allowed in either the King Tut exhibit or the 6th floor museum, so sorry. We were able to go down to the grassy knoll (pictured above) and I also ran out on the road where Kennedy was first shot and took a picture shown above (yes, I was safe and waited until there was no traffic). In the picture, Oswald was shooting from the 6th floor window (there are 7 floors total) to the window to the right (it is beside a window with a rounded top). There were "X's" on both of the locations denoting where the car was when Kennedy was hit with each bullet. It was very interesting seeing both of these museums. Also, the weather has turned around, today was nearly 70 degrees out, yes!
