Do you remember how much fun it was to go see Christmas light displays when you were a kid?
For most of us, nothing has changed. It is still a thrill to go see the millions of twinkling lights and the wondrous world they create.
If you will be in Texas this holiday season, here are ten spectacular Christmas light displays to go see…
The State Fair of Texas is one of the biggest and popular annual events in Texas. It has been around for more than 125 years. Every year, thousands of people flock to it from far and wide.
What is it that makes the State Fair of Texas so popular? What types of fun can people have there? Why should you go?
Let me tell you why this is one event you don’t want to miss if you are anywhere near Dallas around October.
Imagine this… It’s December and you’re standing on the edge of a pool, ready to take the leap. But wait a second, you’re thinking, it’s December. Nobody swims in December.
At Great Wolf Lodge they do!
Dallas is a big city, and to some it may seem difficult to find fun things to do in Dallas Texas… but they’re out there!
We have been there a few times and I want to tell you about the things to do in Dallas Texas that we have discovered! These include some fun attractions, like the Dallas Zoo, Southfork, the Dallas Aquarium, and more.
If you are planning a Dallas vacation, you will also need a few places to eat at, and a place to stay in, so I will tell you about a few great restaurants to try and few hotels to consider (including downtown hotels and Bed & Breakfasts).
Before I continue, when I say “Dallas”, I do mean the Dallas area and that will include other cities too. Now on too…
If you’re looking for hotels in downtown Dallas Texas, I can show you a few great choices to look at. They all offer good value!
Due to their location, you should typically expect to pay more for downtown Dallas hotels than you would for other hotels in Dallas that are further out from downtown Dallas.
These downtown Dallas hotels are located near the big convention centers, which is probably one of the primary reasons why you would pick a downtown hotel.
Here they are…
I have discovered a handful of good hotels in Dallas Texas that offer good value for money and a comfortable stay.
I don’t like driving endless miles from one Dallas attraction to another, so I like to choose hotels that are located as central as possible to our favorite things to do in Dallas. Dallas is big, so you still have to do some driving though!
Here are our favorite hotels in Dallas Texas…
(Note that none of these hotels are in downtown Dallas. If that’s what you are looking for, see hotels in downtown Dallas Texas.)
With so many Dallas restaurants to choose from, how do you know which restaurants give good food at a good price?
When we travel with our kids, I know we’re going to be spending money on hotels and attractions, so it helps a lot to avoid super-fancy restaurants because I’d rather eat a little cheaper and spend more on fun.
Besides, most kids are happy with a good hamburger.
At times though, it is of course very nice if mom & dad can have a decent steak or pasta, etc.
So I try to pick Dallas restaurants that give good food, but won’t break the bank.
Here are a few of our favorites…
Thinking about staying in a Dallas BedAndBreakfast? That’s a great idea if you are looking for a different lodging experience to a hotel.
B&Bs often have a special ambiance that is hard to come by at a hotel.
In my opinion, a Bed & Breakfast is more ideally suited to couples wanting a quiet, romantic getaway without the kids.
I found that there aren’t near as many Bed & Breakfasts around as there are hotels, so it is a little harder to find a good B&B that offers good value.
However, they are out there…
Here are my favorite Bed and Breakfasts in Dallas…
