This area has SO many attractions and events. The restaurants go from sandwiches, fantastic burgers, BBQ, to international fares from around the world! Desserts include exquisite chocolates, cakes, Asian shave iced, fried pies, fine baked pies and ice cream. Let's not forget the drinks of fine wines to super craft beers! There is the Kirk Pedestrian bridge nearby which makes this spot special for the kids! It has a playground nearly the full length (lots of kid friendly spots the full length) besides the intended kid playgrounds. There are places to sit and lounge. Places to sit and converse. And a long pathway to run, walk, gab and sight see. The BEST attraction at Trinity Groves is the view! In daylight, the view of the Margaret Hunt-Hill Bridge is gorgeous with the back drop being the city of Dallas skyline. At night, is the ULTIMATE attraction, the fanciful and delightful ever changing colorful neon/LED building lights behind the well lit Margaret Hunt-Hill Bridge. This trip, the full moon over this view made it spectacular! Bring a date, bring the kids, bring your dog or come alone. It is impressive! You will enjoy it!

Just Go (#19) In…read moreJuly 2016 from New Mexico we went East and explored a little bit of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Salt Flat TX. But my most memorable trip in The Lone Star State was during the Yelp Spring Break in San Antonio on May 2017. It was my 2nd YSB experience before Yelp discontinued them (not sure if they did permanently). Most of the events were centered in San Antonio. We held events in Downtown and the River Walk: * The Vistana - rooftop pool party * Food Tour that included samplings from Ocho (inside Hotel Havana), TacoLand Riverwalk, Paesanos Riverwalk, La Boulangerie, and Zinc Bistro & Wine Bar * Briscoe Western Art Museum - Dia de Los Muertos themed Fiesta for Cinco de Mayo * UYE at the Hard Rock Cafe * The St Anthony Hotel - masquerade ball * Hemisfair * UYE brunch at the Pigpen ... it was hott, hott, hott in San Antonio but we had so much fun! Everything's BIG in TEXAS! Our home away from home was at WorldMark New Braunfels. The unit had a maximum occupancy of 6. It was a freakin' house. LoL Between the YSBSA events we did a little exploring on our own: AT&T Center - Home of the San Antonio Spurs (at the time of our visit the Spurs were away playing Game 3 in Houston) San Antonio River Walk - iconic landmark The Alamo - historic! Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo Tower of the Americas Observation Deck / Chart House Animal World & Snake Farm Zoo Texas has a plethora of delish and famous foods, but the main two are Chili and BBQ. There's a first for everything... it was my first time having a kolache when we stopped at Shipley Donuts. Had Texas-style BBQ at Rudy's Country Store & BBQ in Selma and not too far from it we found a Boba Tea Lounge and got my boba fix ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thank you, Great State of Texas! Review #2470

Did you know??? Fun facts from Atlas Obscura- When Jetson's…read morehome comes to fruition. Fewer than a hundred of Finnish architect Matti Suuronen's sci-fi-inspired Futuro Houses were ever produced, and now fewer than 50 remain, making the odd spaceship vacation home crumbling away in a Royse City, Texas field more sought after than it would appear.   Designed in the late 1960s, the prefabricated Futuro Houses were meant to be a cheap, durable, and stylish little dwelling that could be placed in any environment. Made of fiberglass and plastic, the homes could be broken down into 16 individual pieces and bolted together wherever the owner wanted, from a snowy mountainside to a sunny beach. Unfortunately, the space age design may have been a bit too ahead of its time for most communities, which along with an oil shortage, cut the future of these bulbous vacation shacks short.  Almost from the installation of the first Futuro house in Suuronen's native Finland, locals seemed to decry the strangely shaped buildings. While almost a hundred of the pieces were created and placed around the world from America to New Zealand, a number of them were shot down by zoning laws, or demolished. The oil crisis in the 1970s made the use of plastic prohibitive and production of the houses was stopped. Despite the objections of some, architecture aficionados took to the buildings and were able to preserve many of them, while those without protection simply fell into ruin. The Futuro House sitting in Royse City is unfortunately one of the latter. The interior has been gutted and is now covered in graffiti. The exterior has weather and stained with age, although as of late 2014, it seems to have received a fresh coat of bright orange paint. The inside however is still a mess. A far cry from the Futuro Houses which are well-preserved in private collections around the world, this vacation ship looks like it has crash-landed, but can still be located on Highway 276, approximately six miles east of Rockwall, Texas.

I came here specifically to view an art display by Carlos Ramirez- Alter to a Dream. A shrine that honors mexican american laborers and families who traveled in cars loaded with most of their possessions. Even though it was 28 outside I'm glad I came to see it. It's slated thru today but,because of the weather I don't think it's going anywhere for awhile. I also payed a visit to the "Giant Eyeball " that's realistic beyond belief. The Joule across the street is filled with fabulous contemporary art and deserves a stop in the lobby to check it out. Remember the crystals you grew as a kid? Well an artist grew these same crystals on a full size car engine! Amazing.
