My husband is flying out this Sunday and I am on the 12th. He is going for schooling for work and I am just going to get a break. Plus all I have to pay for is a ticket there and back, everything else is paid for. We will have time at night to do things and on the 14th & 15th weekend. The hotel is in Dallas!!! We are pretty much up to doing anything. How is the weather there?? Here it is about 35 degrees.
Thanks

I heard that it's been nice there weather wise, when I called and checked in with my grandmother [nearer to San Antonio] it was 86.
In the Dallas area there is shopping: Grapevine Mills mall [a ton of outlet stores in a relatively big mall], there's the Galleria [high end mall, very $$$], There is the Medieval Times restaurant, movies theaters, plays, I believe there is a Six Flags down there [Six Flags over Texas] hmm. what else... Museums... plus you're a hop skip and a jump from Fort Worth. There is a big flea market in the Dallas area but it's only open on specific days. I'd have to think about it some more. I'm more knowledgable about the San Antone area than I am Dallas.

Is this the Angie I just replied to 'from the day from...you know where?!' Are your kids going with you? You are such a trooper.
Ashland is right in the middle of Cleveland & Columbus; Mansfield & Wooster. Not many people here, actually I live in Jeromesville which is in Ashland county. We have 400 people here.
Where is your child seen for CF?
I used to go to Cleveland...Rainbow Babies & Children. Now I go to Akron Childrens.
Have a wonderful vacation. You DESERVE it!!!!

Yes, this is the same Angie.
Brady ges to Toledo Children's hospital even though Dayton is closer just because it was the hospital that Brady and I could be in together when I delivered him by C-section. He had a burst bowel and needed surgery at birth and then we got comfortable with the hospital there after him spending the first 77 days there and we like the doctors.

That's all I can think of right now, I'm sure they will have informational guides there, etc. but figured this might be helpful.

No problem, I hope you have fun in Dallas <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Oh if you do happen to go to the Grapevine Mills Mall they have a restaurant there called The Rainforest Cafe. If you've never been to one it's a very cool experience. <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.rainforestcafe.com/">http://www.rainforestcafe.com/</a>">http://www.rainforestcafe.com/">http://www.rainforestcafe.com/</a></a> Fishtanks all over the place along with animatronic things (like an alligator in a pond) It can get tiring after a while (the noise) but it's interesting to visit. I especially liked the ceiling in the eating area. It looks like the night sky including all the shooting stars and such.

I live in Minnesota and am going to Ohio in February....to go someplace warm! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I guess it is all a matter of perception! Although our winter hasn't been too bad (yet), I chuckle at those in much warmer states on here who complain so much aboout their cold weather. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Awesome, sounds like you had some fun!
Glad it helped.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you do while you were there?

Hi Candice:
Well my husband was in school until 5 p.m. Texas time so while he was there I chilled at the hotel. It was great, I read, slept in (something I never get to do), watched TV, took a nap every day- ha ha. Things I don't get to usually do running after 4 kids and a husband. Painted my toe nails. he he
Every night we would do something. We went to the mall- great malls there, went to the stockyards which were REALLY cool, it was so weird to walk around with a beer and we even had to buy cowboy hats to feel like we fit in, while there we went to a rodeo (I have never done that- it was fun), Went to Billy bob's, the JFK museum, speed zone, drove around and walked downtown- took the dart (bus) there, I loved the Saltgrass restaurants- my husband had a steak everyday- we ate really good every day. We also ate at Texas N Brazil- cool place. We put 700 miles on the rental car, which was just night driving. It was fun, we are now home and trying to get everything back in order. Unpacking for everyone, because the kids also had to pack for grandmas house. It was a nice break.

I never even thought to mention going to a rodeo, I guess that's what living in Texas does to you.
