Quick Update - Dallas Heritage Festival at Old City Park

My son will be two next month and my husband and I are looking forward to our first weekend alone since he was born. I can honestly say I haven't had more than a few hours to myself since our little guy came along. I know a lot of parents can't imagine going more than a few hours without their kids, but I think it is completely healthy and much deserved. Not to mention my son has reached his "lovely" terrible two stage! Yay, we are so excited! Here is what is on the agenda:

Old City Park and Dallas Heritage Village. It's quite possible they are one in the same. I have never been but have heard great things about Old City Park in Dallas. Tomorrow there is an old fashioned real "Wild West" gun show. Sounds fun, right?

Although my husband isn't too interested, I thought we would also check out the Green Fields, Black Smoke event. Here is a brief description: During “Living History Seasons,” characters dressed in period clothing will reveal the environmental truths of 1888 Dallas. Through special exhibits and programming, we investigate if people really were “greener” in the nineteenth century and how life on the family farm was affected by the growth of industry.

Old City Park is full of historical buildings like these:











There is so much more to see. I cannot wait! If you are in the Dallas area, and have never been, definitely check out Old City Park.

If we have any energy or money left, hubby suggests we go to the drive- in theater and make out like "back in the day". We will have to see about that.

Please understand my posts may be delayed through the weekend. I apologize for that, but I will be back in full swing By Monday.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!

What Are Your Weekend Plans?

The high in Dallas tomorrow is supposed to be 78 degrees. We have had more snow this year then I ever remember and I am so ready for this beautiful weekend! Several weeks ago I scheduled my first hair appointment at Splurge Salon in Highland Village. The salon is in this cute little outdoor shopping mall. I am hoping to go shopping tomorrow for some workout pants and summer clothes for my 22-month old. He is growing like a weed! He's already in a 4t. Is that even normal?!

I would love to get out to the Ft. Worth Zoo! If you live in the DFW metroplex and haven't been there yet, you have to go. I prefer the trails at the Dallas Zoo but you see so many more animals in Ft.Worth. Last weekend we waited over an hour to park in the "overflow" parking at the Dallas Zoo. Sunday will be filled with cleaning. Oh boy, I can't wait.

So, what are your plans for the weekend? I'm curious to know how the weather will be everywhere else in the world. Hopefully, no one is still getting snow! If you are looking for something to do outdoors, Yelp is a great place to start. If you aren't familiar with Yelp, it is an online community full of local reviews. You can use the event option to search for local activities in your area, be it a concert, museum, or family friendly outing. I love searching Yelp when it's nice outside and I'm looking for something new to do with the family. Regardless what you do, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
