These are a few of our favorite places to visit and things to do around the DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth) metroplex.
Buc-ee's
506 Interstate 20, Terrell, TX 75160
When you want to go for a drive but don't know where, this is the place to go. It is a must visit whenever you are near one.
Terry Black's Barbecue
3025 Main Street, Dallas, TX 75226
This is hands down some of the best barbeque that Courtnie and Collin have found in Dallas. If you want the best selection, you have to get there early before they run out.
Cidercade Dallas
2777 Irving Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75207
Cidercade is one of Collin's favorite places to go. It offers both a family friendly and adult only environment, depending on the time of day. Collin personally loves the pinball machines whereas Courtnie spends her time playing Fix-it Felix.
Fort Worth Stockyards

The Forth Worth Stockyards is a yearly birthday tradition for Collin, since coming to Dallas. Collin and Courtnie go to the rodeo hosted here with friends.
