4. HIGHLAND PARK SODA FOUNTAIN

DALLAS,   An Old-fashioned Highland Park Soda Fountain is always a treat when you have a taste for nostalgia.  You can get an old-fashion breakfast, variety of sandwiches, and end it all with ice cream shake, malt or a float.

Just chillin'! Sweet pit stop for an orange freeze & a cherry ice cream soda! #summerfun #beattheheat #icecream #yummy

6. MARINE CREEK TRAIL

FORT WORTH,   Little known “secret” walking path, along the creek in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Tucked-away but easy access from an alley off Main Street.  Enjoy a delicious meal at stockyards then walk it off with beautiful scenery.

This mornings thunderstorms left a gorgeous day in its wake. Perfect for a run / walk (dang ankles) at the reservoir. #marinecreektrails

7. MUSTANGS OF LAS COLINAS

IRVING,  For those in Las Colinas are familiar with the the mustangs on North O’Connor Road.  Great site for any Texan or Texas tourist.  The mustangs are bronze sculptures that show nine majestic horses in the water.  Incredible site in the evening lights.

On a night run and spotted this. 😍 🐴

8. THE PLANETARIUM AT UT ARLINGTON

ARLINGTON,  Expand your horizon, great adventure with star shows, movies and take a pic of your kids ‘walking on the moon’.  Many locals overlook this Planetarium, but should be added to your list to look into at UTA.

I'M ON THA MOON!!!
