Can y'all tell the girls were drug (almost kicking and screaming) to see the Southfork Ranch? Okay, they weren't kicking and screaming, but they were definitely ready to leave. I'm dating myself...but, yes, several in my family were hooked on Dallas, and I remember being glued to the television every Friday night. It wore off though, and I never watched the last several seasons. But I definitely waited on pins & needles through the summer as we all speculated on "Who shot JR?"
The ranch was really neat to see and "experience". Very cool to stand on the balcony overlooking the pool where JR would have stood, or to walk across the driveway and know that's where Patrick Duffy (Bobby) parked that cool red convertible. Who cares about Jock's Lincoln...Bobby's car was hot (& I didn't think he was too bad either!) :o)
Only the outside scenes from the show were shot at Southfork, but much of the TV set in CA was modeled after the actual rooms inside the ranch house. However, Southfork is about 6000 square feet, and the TV set was 40,000 sq. ft.
Anyway, "I" thought it was fun, and after 24 hours, I think the girls have gotten over the torture. I'm sure they'll survive.

Uncle Scott,
You need to check that Dallas post again. There's a message for you, from ME. (Guess who!)
And Aunt Trina, on one of the posts, you said "Aunt Trina thinks ya'll are nuts, including the ones living in Windsor!" Don't you make fun of my favorite uncle for talking about himself in the 3rd person? lol... just wondering
Luv ya'll,
Amanda
I guess your "favorite uncle" is rubbing off on me, UGH!
Uncle John wants to know why He isn't your favorite uncle. He is hurt, really hurt.
