Matt's parents and sister are coming to visit for Thanksgiving. We'll be working a few of the days they're here, but we still want to take them to do fun things when we can. They've been here before and have done a lot of the touristy things already. Here are a few ideas for some 'off the beaten path' activities.
The Sixth Floor Museum - I've heard you leave the museum with more questions about JFK's assassination than ever. You can see a live feed of Dealey Plaza from the sniper's perch here. There also used to be a Conspiracy Museum, but apparently it closed about a year ago.
National Cowgirl Hall of Fame and Museum - Matt's cousin used to work there, so we've been already. I don't think his parents have, though, and it's a pretty cool place. Admission also includes entry to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Natural History. You can't beat a two-for-one deal.
Dallas World Aquarium - I've always wanted to go. Having out-of-towners here is a good excuse, don't you think?
Sundance Square: Matt works nearby so we're there all the time, but it's a fun place to visit anyway. You get the downtown feel without hoards of people. I love Fort Worth.
Seriously, what's a trip to Texas without a visit to Babe's? Not very good, that's what.
I'm sure we'll also do some shopping in Southlake and browsing on Main Street in Keller, too. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I would vote for the aquarium -- it was one of my favorite places when I visited 6 years ago!
Thanks for all the great links. I've been wondering what to do with my family!
I'm 1 for 3 on those places... do you mind if I tag along? ;) Pathetic, huh?
I LOVE the Sixth Floor Museum! Let me know how you like it...
Thanks for stopping my blog. I had to change some things around so your comment isn't there anymore and you were my first one! Maybe you can stop by again?
