Dallas in a Day

Dallas in a Day, Dallas, Texas

My adventure in Dallas didn’t exactly go according to plan. I intended to have a few days to wander and explore the city at my leisure. However, due to a monsoon that overtook Dallas while I was there (seriously, they had flooding and record rainfall), and a flu bug that landed me in my hotel room for a whole day and a half… I wound up cramming all of my sightseeing activities into one afternoon!

I did get to check out Reunion Tower, which I talked about in my last post. I was also able to see the JFK Memorial, which weirdly enough, is not where JFK was assassinated…and I did see the Grassy Knoll.

I had also heard wonderful things about The Dallas Museum of Art, as well as The Sixth Floor Museum. However, I felt like I’ve been to quite a few museums this summer…and I wasn’t feeling the best…so, I wasn’t sure how well I was going to be able to concentrate on the content. I, therefore, made the logical decision to spend my only afternoon in Dallas at the Dallas World Aquarium. I swear it made me feel better, and I had a blast watching the penguins! (Kind of like the equivalent to watching Saturday morning cartoons, haha.) Prepare yourself for all kinds of critter pictures! ......

Day Trip to Dallas

Day Trip to Dallas

Thanks to a great Southwest special back in the fall on winter travel, I was able to book flights to and from Dallas for extra cheap! This meant flying in the middle of winter on weekdays, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to fly to Dallas roundtrip cheaper than it would've cost to drive my own vehicle. I'm going to do something I haven't done in a while and return to my classic format for...  view more
