If you are flying in from DFW, make sure to check out both Dallas and Fort Worth. Dallas has so many incredible things to do. It is home to the Dallas Arboretum (beautiful in May), the Dallas Museum of Art, the Crow Museum of Asian Art, Klyde Warren Park (lots of food trucks), the Perot Museum of Science and Nature, the Galleria (a shopping mall that has ice-skating year-round), and many bars, clubs, and high-end restaurants.
