As a fan of American history I was intere6in seeing the architecture and feel of a historical site. The two informational post that are stationed on site gave us some important information about the town of Lavon and the uses of the building. Having roots in small town USA I noticed some fascinating features about the building. The roofline and awning are typical of that era and reflected the progressive nature of the times.

The decor is lovely, the breeze felt good, and the staff was in a lively mood. I do wish the Irish music was playing inside as well but I had a great time with old and new friends going through the few vendors outside. The Irish nachos were decent but the chicken schnitzel was incredible and basically a chicken katsu minus the rice. Would 10/10 hope to have that on the regular menu!!

This place is a treasure and I really enjoyed the experience we had here. We had come to the area…read morefor an event, and when the event ended we decided to stay and poke around a little bit. This is a collection of homes and other buildings (stores, church, etc) paying tribute to McKinney's past. Some are outfitted with actual artifacts from the original occupants, while others are displayed with like items from the period of McKinney's history. It was fascinating to walk through them and visualize what life must have been like. My hat is off to the city and to all the great people who make this treasure possible!

This is attached to our conference hotel so we all went up. You take an elevator up and before that…read moreyou have the option to take a picture where they superimpose you on top of the Dallas skyline. Once you get off the elevators you're greeted with a little gift shop that also has snacks and alcoholic beverages. You can stay inside and take in the view or go outside. I was surprised that there really wasn't more robust netting and you can definitely drop your phone from the top so be careful. There wasn't a ton to do up there so I would say a longer visit would be 30 min max unless you partake in the snacks and beverages.

We came around 3pm and it was a ghost town and parking was roughly $15.00. Once coming in we got check in and went straight up. Once we got to the top there was literally no one there besides the workers lol. We took 20 mins max and left. The space needle is much better than this unfortunately. I had higher hopes but they could add more things. Only cool thing I got to learn from this experience was hearing about where JFK was shot and then heading over to the location where the X is painted marking his passing.

My friend and I signed up for the Wine/Christmas lights tour (12/14) and we had a decent time. We…read morewere able to taste 3 different wines from an Italian restaurant in North Dallas along with flatbreads and charcuterie. It would've been nice to have a white wine instead of the 2 reds that were chosen to go along with the rosé. After that, we were taken for dessert and I thoroughly enjoyed that as the gelato was amazing! Then the lights tour started and we hit spots in park cities that were notable for their Christmas lights. I had high expectations but was very underwhelmed by the effort of lights this year. Our very last stop was to the popular house off Deloach Avenue. I wish we would've went here first so we could've had a chance to see the house - instead when we arrived it was a madhouse and we wasn't able to see the house. The hostess was nice, they provided drinks while on the tour, and was nice enough to make a stop for a bathroom break. Overall, it was a decent time and something new to try!

If I had to describe the Rose Garden of Farmers Branch in one word, I'd use "lovely". I came here…read morefor the first time on Saturday and I must admit, I thought that this was going to be a much larger rose garden, however it is still very nice and well done, especially for the free free as part of a community park. Whoever thought of making this garden in the Parks and Recreation department deserves a round of applause. C'mon on out Leslie Knope! The garden is very charming and will make you feel like you just fell down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland. It provides the perfect locale for a small photo shoot, picnic, or small garden party. I came here in early April which unfortunately is either too early or too late in the season as many of the rose bushes weren't in bloom. I definitely want to keep tabs to see when the best time would be to come to see it in full bloom. Aside from the Rose Garden, this park also has a nice pond/canal, a large playground, and a short trail that offers lots of secluded picnic tables along the way. I'm certainly no expert about parks, but there are certain parks that you go to for different things. Some parks are great for cookouts, some are great for exercise or walking, and some are excellent for festivals or large events like concerts. This park is superb for picnics. There are so many quaint areas here that are ideal for getting out the picnic blanket and basket. Or if you just want to spend your lunch break eating outside with a good book, there are plenty of picnic tables to choose from that provide the serenity that you're seeking.
