The Sixth Floor Window where Lee Harvey Oswald shot from
killing President John F Kennedy in 1963
Today we took my Daddy to Dallas to visit the Sixth Floor Museum. Apparently this was a place he had wanted to visit for a long time as he loves studying about history and he had mentioned this to my son-in-law at some point. So we all loaded up and went and spent the morning learning about a big piece of our country's history. This was a very interesting museum but was sad as well. Just walking thru there and knowing that this was the same building where Lee Harvey Oswald had been when he shot President Kennedy sent a few chills down my spine. Although I was not born in 1963 when this tragic event happened, I realize that we lost a great president who was just getting started and would have probably done some amazing things for our country. What a sad and tragic time it was for our country and the Kennedy family. Although the museum had a rule that you could not take any photos inside, I did manage to get a few photos outside once we left. Daddy took us over and showed us the famous "grassy knoll" where they suspect another sniper had been, and I got pictures of the window on the 6th floor where Lee Harvey Oswald was supposedly sitting. It's funny that as a kid in school I HATED history, but now as I get older I can't seem to learn enough about history. It is all so interesting to me now.
