We got off movies a few years ago because there are so seldom any out that we both want to see. Maybe one a year. I think we got old.

I'm looking for something interesting to do with my husband next weekend for his birthday.

Amazing place. Actually got to ride a subway. <br /><br />And San Francisco and Napa are amazing.

We're big museum people, public gardens and sports now and again (love FC Dallas!!!). We just moved back to San Antonio and are rediscovering the region. You're so right, you have to get out and do something different than dinner and a movie now and then!Sasha Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07397923161688271837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-75162930481583571812012-01-15T15:29:54.523-06:002012-01-15T15:29:54.523-06:00When we lived in Dallas, we'd always take fami...When we lived in Dallas, we'd always take family and friends to the Stockyards when they came to visit...it's a great place to spend the day and visitors can get their picture taken on a Texas longhorn--can't ask for a better souvenir than that!Marin Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337817734094294896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-11886162803153856932012-01-15T14:51:14.612-06:002012-01-15T14:51:14.612-06:00LOVE the stockyards!

Hell's Half-Acre is there in North Fort Worth, the site of dozens of saloons (including the White Elephant) and the last place Butch and Sundance had their picture taken. My grandfather wrote abook about growing up in those last days of the cowboy and the stockyards. He was born in 1892 and his mother was dressmaker to all the rich ladies of that time. I LOVE researching historical stuff!Juliet Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262206330752624327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-59176830276322232972012-01-15T11:01:01.323-06:002012-01-15T11:01:01.323-06:00Nice pictures, Pam.

I have never had the time or we're always traveling when it comes around.<br /><br />Maybe this year.<br />Tim & I travel, wander, take pictures, love to see things that are FREE (LOL). And then there's the road trips...take off in a direction with no traffic.<br /><br />All my best to you,<br />~AngiAngi Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568009648101184027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809871.post-11734577021022321332012-01-15T10:15:41.782-06:002012-01-15T10:15:41.782-06:00Hi Kathy and Tammy.

I forgot to mention that the best thing about the local activities is that they provide so much entertainment for the cost.

I probably should, it would do wonders to spark my creative energies, I'm thinking. <br /><br />Since I'm from the same neck of the woods as you, Pam, we have the same places of interest. I do love visiting the historical sites, though. I am a definite history buff.Kathy Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16440759802997389459noreply@blogger.com
