I think I know what my family and I are doing for spring break and if you're in the Dallas area any time soon and are looking for some family friendly fun, you should check out Reunion Tower's GeO-Deck too. With the help of technology, from 470 feet up you'll experience breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, high-definition zoom cameras, interactive touch screens, telescopes, photo ops and an indoor/outdoor observation deck that lets you see for miles in any direction. The journey begins in the PIX photo experience at the bottom of the tower.

Visiting Texas: Lone Star Family Farm | Stephenville, Tx + OMG! It's Fall!!!

It's that time of year again Butterflies! Cooler weather, boots & sweaters and pumpkin flavored everything. I recently came across a "how to video" for making pumpkin slime that I know my little human is going to love, then I just found out the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks and the coolest of all, my spa is offering "pumpkin facials". Don't you just love the fall? Speaking of pumpkin, Lone Star Family Farm is offering a wide range of attractions that are fun for the whole family this fall!
