Lubbock-Day 3/Final Day.... :(

The last day of my trip to Lubbock, we headed to Amarillo to Palo Dura Canyon, The Big Texan and Cadillac Ranch....I will try to sum this up quickly...when we went got to Palo Dura Canyon we first stopped at the gift shop...

Bought some super tacky magnets and other items that must remain nameless....then we headed off into the park. I have never been to the Grand Canyon, but Lindsey said this was a smaller scale, but you get the picture....we then tried to take several self portraits before a nice family agreed to take our picture...

Next was Cadillac Ranch....I in my mind thought it was some tourist attraction, which it is, but its just in the middle of this field and you just walk up to it. This was also where Lindsey uttered the words..."When did you become such a primadonna???" When she gave me the itinerary for the trip, she told me it was suppose to pour down rain and that we probably wouldn't get to do much of the stuff....so I did not bring proper shoes to go running through a muddy corn field to see the Cadillac's....Me, primadonna??? Have you met Lindsey? :)

Next, was the Big Texan....so many memories were made at this restaurant, I don't even know where to begin...
1. I met my soulmate (and ya'll thought it was David...) :)
2. I could have been arrested for stalking a teenager
Hang with me for the rest....this restaurant is home of the 72 ounce steak, the one where if you eat it all, you get it for free. I looks like a roast you would feed a family of 6

Oh, and did I mention the limo's that will come pick you up at your hotel to take you to eat?

They also have these sweet little old men that come around to your table and play request....

Well I guess that is all....oh wait, I forgot to mention about my soul mate...

First of all, let me start out by saying that Blake was our waiter and possibly underage...now, the reason I took this photo was to have proof to show my ever so doubting husband. The events that transpired before this photo taken were something I have never experienced in my life. Now, take a look at Blake, our waiter....cute, but nothing to write home about correct?? Well, Lindsey and I did not pay any attention to him until he opened his mouth. The next thing that happened can only be described, from the mouth of Lindsey, was like hearing liquid chocolate. The voice that came out of this young fella was something I have never heard in my life. Not country, not super deep, but the most amazing speaking voice I have ever heard. When he left our table the first time, Lindsey and I just stared at each other. "I call him!!!" "No, I saw him first!!!" Jokingly of course, we are both taken ladies. When we left, I immediately called David and told him that I had met my soul mate and he was out of luck...he of course said the guy must have been drop dead gorgeous for us to going on and on about him....which was why I took the photo in the first place. Semi cute...sure, but like I said, nothing to write home about. I am thinking about calling the Big Texan and asking to speak to him so David can hear his voice because he just thinks we are nuts.... :)
