Trip Report 002: Bonham, Texas

A couple of months ago a few members of my family and I went to Bonham for the afternoon. We hiked for an hour or two on a small trail and along a lake inside the park. It is a small park, it isn't Gates of The Arctic that's for sure but the park is nice enough. It was quite and had some fun things to do.

After we spent some time at Bonham St. Park we went to Texas Star BBQ which was good. We then walked around downtown Bonham and I snapped some photographs. The downtown was pretty and it reminded me of so many other Great Plains and Middle America downtowns. It reminded me of Ponca City, OK; Norman, OK; Ardmore, OK; Pauls Valley, OK (Home of the Toy and Action Figure Museum); and so many other great cities. It was a highlight of the day trip for me. Then, a brief hour or two drive through the peaceful countryside back to the madness of DFW. As we rode Stacy Road in Fairview/Allen past a new In N Out burger, I felt kind of sad and depressed to be leaving the quite. The In'N'Out had hundreds of people lined up outside the restraunt and it looked like a madhouse. Our dinner a few hours before had been quite and serene to say the least.

Fun day overall, nothing spectacular, but a cool daytrip.
