Suggestions on things to do... - 03-08-2005, 08:54 PM


I'm coming up to McKinney on April 9th for a Tiger shoot and my wife and I are trying to figure out what to do for the rest of the weekend. What do y'all suggest we do to fill the rest of Saturday and Sunday? Suggestions do not need to be photography centric. We've been to Dallas before, but never to Plano, Arlington, Irving, Ft. Worth, etc. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Bill...we are looking to spend the weekend, but we'll have to leave sometime around 1pm on Sunday to head back to Austin and pick up the pup. We can definitely see about getting together.

I think you should come to my garage sale. It's for a good cause, my upcoming Haiti trip. I'm sure you could write it off.
