Posts Tagged ‘dallas’

I am planning to go see Fall Foliage in Arkansas. I stay in Dallas do not want long travel time . looking for max 5 hrs. Hot Springs or Mena ( I found these places from search results) are two places which seems interesting.

A) What I am looking for is information on which Place you think is worth going to
B) Economical but beautiful B&B place to stay ( less than $125 per night)
C) I am learning Photography ( putting My Canon 40D to use) so which are scenic places.
D) Peak Coloring time

Planning to go Friday evening and return on Sunday
Thank you for your answers

My father married this woman under the condition that they move to a warmer climate once he retires. He hates the city and has always been a country boy. He has his eye on Hot Springs, Arkansas. Well, Dad has been retired for nearly a year, but his wife keeps finding excuses for not moving away with him, all excuses that he is able to respond well too. When she says she wants to keep her job, he says that they need nurses in Arkansas. When she says she wants to take care of her grandchildren, he says that they have loving parents already. When she says that she would miss her children, he assures her that they can have a guest room for when they (and I) visit. When she says that there is nothing to do there, he says that all she ever does here is go to work, then church, then back home. Besides, he assures her, she would only be a few hours away from Dallas, St. Louis, and New Orleans. He is becoming aggrevated because he says that she never made plans for the move, and it seems that she thinks that she can talk him out of changing his mind. Dad says that, when he prepared for retirement 30 years ago, it was always his wish to move to a warmer part of the country, and he insists on moving–even without her. Would my father be just in divorcing her? What can be done to prevent this from happening?

PS: His wife is not my mother.

I am into historic stuff, sightseeing, national parks and fun.

Looking for ideas for road trip destinations with 13-year-old son in July. We’ve done southern Louisiana, San Antonio, Austin, Galveston, Dallas, and Hot Springs, AR and we’re looking for new ideas. We have 8 days in July to work with and I’ll be the only driver. Any ideas?
Oh, and we’ve done Memphis/Mississippi and Orlando as well.

My fiance and I are getting married in November. Our income isn’t a fortune and can’t afford a lot of vacation for the honeymoon. The wedding is on a Saturday and we have taken that Mon off. We live in OKC, Oklahoma. We are considering driving to Hot Springs, AR, Tulsa, OK, or Dallas, TX for a brief escape from life rather than a traditional honeymoon. Anyone able to recommend things to do, see, or places to stay in any of those places?

We will drive after the wedding on Sat and stay till Monday evening.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to go (like bed and breakfasts) that is close to OKC that would be great for a wedding escape?

Just for reference Dallas and Tulsa are both 2 to 2.5 hours from OKC. Hot Springs is 5.5 hours away. We’ll be leaving the reception at around 5pm – ish. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We want to be able to make it to the place that Saturday so we can enjoy our two days fully. No one night stops in between.
Please remember this is in November. The theme parks will be closed and camping is pretty much out of the question due to weather. We will eventually take a proper honeymoon. We are thinking sometime around May when vacation is more readily available at our jobs (Our wedding is on Thanksgiving weekend so neither of us have much of an option about how much vacation our companies are willing to grant us) We aren’t taking our honeymoon, we are taking a break from OKC. Someplace quick, refreshing, and different.
