St.Louis, Missouri

July 6, 2021 No Comments

St.Louis, Missouri, the gateway to the west is the perfect destination for families from anywhere in the United States because of it's central location and airport that all major cities fly to. Not only is the town pretty compact, but most attractions are free or cheap. The food is outstanding, and the weather, especially in

Palestine, TX

Palestine, TX. We first heard of it from a couple of our friends who were from there and had moved to Dallas, but didn't think much of it. But now that we have been there, we can't wait to visit again! TRANSPORTATION: It takes 2 hours to get from Dallas to Palestine by car. Our

Fredericksburg, TX

Fredericksburg is one of the most popular travel destinations in Texas and for good reason. It has small town charm, a huge wine scene, incredible natural beauty in the surrounding Hill Country, fantastic restaurants, hiking, swimming and more. TRANSPORTATION: Road trip from Dallas takes about 4.5 hours, but we like stopping in the middle to

Hico, TX

HICO Hico is located just a hop-skip away from Glen Rose and is the gateway to Hill Country. Do it as a day trip on its own, or combined with Glen Rose for an overnight stay. Or as a midway point from DFW to Fredericksburg & surrounding areas. The entire town is very walkable. One

San Saba, TX

Do you ever wonder what Fredericksburg would have been like before it became so popular? Did you know that the pecan capital of the world is right here in Texas? Well, San Saba is the hidden gem you never knew you wanted to visit. When I saw the cover of Texas highways with a picture

Glen Rose, TX

Glen Rose is often done as a day-trip from Dallas. But there's more to the town, which makes it the perfect easy getaway for families, and among the top 5 from Dallas. D & S have been here a few times between the ages of 5 & 9. It is great though for anyone into

Waco, TX

Waco used to be known for some unfortunate news in the 90s, but with Chip & Joanna Gaines' HGTV show, Fixer Upper, it is now firmly a top tourist destination in Texas! It is also small enough to explore easily. Only an hour & half from Dallas, it even works as a same day trip,

Wichita Falls, TX

Most people think of Wichita Falls as just a pit stop on their way to Palo Duro Canyon. But Wichita Falls is a destination all it's own. Only a couple of hours north of the Dallas/Fort Worth area, it's perfect on any mild weekend in January or February. We did a one-night stay but there

New England Leaf Peeping

New England is beautiful all year round, but it is especially so in Fall when the leaves turn color, and you can see palettes like you'd never imagine. It's a great opportunity for the kids to learn about the outdoors, seasonal changes, especially if they're from a region where this isn't quite as striking. WHEN:

Greece

As far as family travel goes, Greece was undoubtedly the best trip we went on, though the Netherlands was a close second! We only had 8 full days…
