It's like taking a step back into time - Walking into the 6th Floor Museum in what used to be the Texas Book Depository in downtown Dallas. You learn about this moment in history, but you never really know what it must have been like, at least not if you weren't there. A moment forever remembered in history through a pink suit, a motorcade, a president. The museum leads you through the life and times of President Kennedy, up through the terrible day in 1963 that all centered around this very spot, the place where you are standing now. It makes you draw in a deep breath. You watch footage, you remember his dreams, you wonder what might have been. Most of all, you want to do more. You want to be do better. You want to be better.
The museum is worth visiting. There were moments that took my breath and pulled at my emotions. I left feeling moved and stirred and better somehow. It was well worth the trip.
