We head west to Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, home of the Cowboys, for a private tour of the largest NFL stadium that can hold over 100,000 people and is home to the Cotton Bowl Classic.

Afterward, we continue west to Fort Worth and have time for an on-your-own lunch at Billy Bob’s Texas world’s largest Honky Tonk, named Country Music Club of the Year 12 times. Here, Merle Haggard made the Guinness Book of World Records for buying the largest round of drinks with 5,095 shots of Canadian Club for everyone inside—40 gallons of whisky costing $12,737.50. Afterward, we are taken to the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, where your dollars are printed. Then, we see a stampede of genuine longhorn cattle.

Returning to Dallas, the evening is free. (CB,,)

We see Dealey Plaza, where JFK was assassinated, and stop at the George W Bush Presidential Center, where you can have your photo taken behind a replica of the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. Then we head to the Dallas TV show’s Southfork Ranch, so you remember that sensation from 1978-1991 where 350 million people worldwide tuned in to find out who shot JR.

Tonight, we go to nearby Waxahachie, where the Ellis County Farm Bureau is hosting us for a special dinner.

Return to Dallas. (CB,FD)
