March (Part 2): Our trip to Paris... (Paris, Texas, that is)

On March 29th we just decided to head out driving and exploring.  Lane was the navigator and didn't tell me our destination.  Just where to turn.  She wanted to see some of the Texas country outside of the built-up Dallas-Fort Worth area.  So we headed north-east and wound up in Paris, Texas.  A very small town.  By the time we arrived we were definitely ready for lunch, so Lane found us this place.

Scholl Brothers Bar-B-Que in Paris, Texas

From the outside it may not look like much, but like so many places like this, if you get past the outside appearance and go inside and try the food you find it is most excellent.  The food here was fabulous.

My Bar-B-Que was served up right on the paper tray liner.
Lane's brisket was in a Styrofoam bowl.  It was still great food.

We Southerners always appreciate a restaurant serving sweet tea,

We saw these metal horses when we stopped for gas.
They are made from scrap pieces of roofing metal.

Passing through a uniquely decorated small Texas town.

Some flat North Texas

Lane had never actually seen an operational oil well.
We saw quite a few this day.

It was a great day trip.  Just a House-Boy and his Travel Nurse exploring Texas.
