Disney World at 42

Orlando, FLMulti-day5 out of 5 stars

First time going to Disney World as a 42-year-old adult - and the magic was still just as magical. The rides, the food, the details, the fireworks. It's not just for kids.

Homestead Heritage

Waco, TX3-4 hours5 out of 5 stars

Step back in time at this working homestead and craft village. Watch glass blowing, flour milling, and an amazing lady working a massive loom. My kids loved it just as much as I did.

Ferry Building Marketplace on a Saturday morning is worth waking up early for. Great coffee, fresh pastries, and you get a real feel for the local food scene.

Museum Quick Visit

Dallas, TX2 hoursEasy

The Dallas Museum of Art is free and right downtown. When I have a gap between meetings, it's a great way to spend an hour or two without going far from the business district.
