Growing up as the only girl between two brothers I have a sense of appreciation for sports that some do not. Above all others I would have to say that baseball is my favorite sport to play and watch. My grandparents used to live in Richardson, a suburb of Dallas,so I was here all the time for summers; in between baseball tournaments for my brothers. Since we lived near Houston, TX I frequented the Astro Dome, when it was home to the Astros. Now living here one of my favorite places to go is the Ballpark at Arlington to watch the Texas Rangers play. I still love my ‘Stros, but I have a passion for baseball so I like going to the ballpark to watch any team play. If you like watching baseball then you have to go and watch a game at this stadium. Believe it or not there is not a bad seat in the house you can pretty much see everything no matter what angle you are at.
Besides watching baseball another one of my favorite things to do in Dallas is going to the Texas State Fair. Even though it only happens once a year I love going. There is just something about going and eating your way around the fair grounds, from the corn dogs to the funnel cakes there is nothing like it. You walk in and there is the giant man, Big Tex, greeting you, hundreds of people walking around playing games, watching shows, riding the rides it makes you relive your childhood.
Shopping and Dallas go hand in hand, so naturally it is one of my most desired past times. I do not get to do it as often as I would like to but when I do I spend hours doing it. I get to spend the most time shopping when my mom comes to town. Her favorite malls to go to are North Park, Willow Bend in Plano or Grapevine Mills. There are many shops to choose from at each location so any budget can handle it. Anyone who knows how to shop knows that eating out comes with the territory. One of my most loved memories is when my grandmother would take me to eat lunch at the café inside the store, and then afterwards she would let me pick out something small from the store. Even though it is a long trek from any of these malls, if you love Mexican food then you have to go to Tejano’s in Oak Cliff. It is one of the last restaurants in this area that still serves authentic Mexican food. So if you find yourself in the area and wanting Mexican food, be sure to check out Tejano’s and try their puffed tacos or enchilada’s.
There are multiple attractions in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area these are just a few of my favorites. If you are planning on visiting family or coming to Dallas for business or pleasure take time to go out and visit some of our unique hot spots.

These movers are thieves. They steal everything they can get and wont own up to it. They dont have a clue of how to pack. They add trash to every box to increase weights. DO NOT USE.
A friend of mine used them and had a bad experience. It took them 12 HOURS to move to load the truck and unload the truck 15 miles down the road! They broke furniture and tv's! This was 8 months ago and is still trying to get reimbursed.
