Things to Do

Below are some suggested activities to do while you're in town. Most of these are in the Grand Prairie/Arlington area as that is where the couple grew up, but Dallas & Fort Worth is only but a 30 min drive (with no traffic...on the tollway).

We personally have not been here but it's on our to-do list. This place is highly rated due to its unique fusion of Lao and Texas BBQ.
