Howdy 🐠,

My girlfriend is visiting from NYC this weekend - her first time in Texas.
Any recommendations for what to do in the DFW over the weekend? Maybe a few weekend trip recommendations?

TIA!

+1 for Denton! Just a bit of a drive from Dallas.

Great wolf lodge is an indoor Waterpark and hotel. Really cool.

I enjoy beer and water slides if I’m there with my kids but it isn’t something I would go out of my way as an adult to do

I would take her to Bishop Arts. Make a reservation at Paradiso (most aesthetic for a girl) or Casa Blanca for brunch.

Then walk the streets, go to Pie Emporium for desserts. If you want to do drinks go to Atlas or Bar Eden (attached to Paradiso).

It’s hot so probably want to keep it indoors. DMA or the Perot Museum?

Indoor rock climbing is always fun, Oso or Movement in the design district.

The Dallas Arboretum is beautiful!

Not when it’s 100 degrees and “feels like 117”

Go to the mall, it’s too hot 🥵

Cowboy boot shopping!

If you want to go further, head down to New Braunfels and go tubing for the weekend. Stay in a trash airbnb and spend the weekend hammered floating around and at schlitterbahn. I've aged out of that now but it's a blast of a weekend
