From 1:00pm on a Tuesday to 1:00pm on the following day, Carl and I had pretty much nonstop fun!  Our first stop was to find out what “The Thing” was.  There were billboards for miles and miles along I-10 West advertising “The Thing”.  We HAD to know…lol  So off we went.  Such tourists!  For only $1, we were directed to a door that lead to three buildings that housed vintage vehicles, unbelievably creative hand curved driftwood, period inventions and finally…”The Thing.”  We were amazed at all of the items we saw.  It turned out to be quite a funRead More

  These falls poured into the swimming pool Climb to the top Roaring Springs, TX…where and what the heck is that?  Geographically, it is kinda northwest in the state.  Historically, it was originally a Comanche outpost.  Then as part of the Matador Ranch, in anticipation of the railroad coming through, a town was created and named Ragtown.  Once they got a post office in 1913, they got serious and changed their name to Roaring Springs.  Now it is a 746 acre privately owned RV and Golf Ranch that includes the Roaring Springs Falls that feeds their enormous swimming pool providingRead More

   A detour that was worth a million!  Between Glen Rose and Roaring Springs, Carl and I took a little side trip to Witchita Falls to check out a waterfalls I saw online.  It was so worth the extra 40 miles!

    The Reunion tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Dallas.  Three of the four shafts of poured-in-place concrete house elevators that shoot to the circular floors in 68 seconds.  The exterior of the transporters is made of glass enabling you to watch Dallas fly by while on route! Dallas’s intricate highway system   We started our adventure on the “GeO-Deck” which provided a 360 degree interior interactive experience of the history and sights of Dallas via touch panels all around the perimeter of the room and the outside deck offered telescopes for distance viewing.  Of course,Read More

Water Garden of Fort Worth  – This awesome place is in the middle of downtown Fort Worth!  Rarely do you find a ‘waterfalls’ that you can climb down into with a bunch of other people and hang out!  There are several areas at the gardens…the Wall where you can climb up layers and layers of stone steps…the Quiet Pool situated down in a valley of sorts where you can walk, meditate, etc. that is surrounded by cypress trees and walls with thin plane of water that cascades almost 90 degrees down, sounding like a gentle rainfall  (there was a weddingRead More

    You know how sometimes we go along with a friend or partner or spouse to do something that we are not necessarily thrilled about, but do it because THEY are?!  And then sometimes we like it too and other times we just grin and bare it?!  Well, Dinosaur World was one of those and I liked it, too!!!!  I was totally surprised how cool the dinosaur exhibit was…walking along outdoors seeing a new creature around every turn!  What a blast!

After we uncovered the hidden treasure, we walked around the park….it was awesome!  Very unique!    Around the area where Pie Peddlers is was the town square and some quaint little shops and even driving through town had its treasures…both of which were very cool! Along the street on the wall of a bodyRead More
