Sometimes You Just Need To Get Out of the Suburbs!

Sometimes you just need to get out of the suburbs. Even if it is just for the day, taking a break from the minivans and super markets for a little bit can give you a nice perspective of life outside of the monotony that we sometimes find ourselves in. Hopefully the weather will start warming up here in the next few weeks, which gives everyone a chance to step outside and enjoy the sun and try to get about the famed “polar vortex”.

It’s tough to take a break and go on vacation; most of our bosses would probably point out that Christmas was barely a month ago and tell us to get back to work. So since a week long trip seems out of the question, why not take a day and enjoy what is in our backyard? Downtown Dallas. The city of Dallas has done an incredible job with revamping the downtown atmosphere and has brought in many exciting attractions that fit any type of personality!

The Arts district is one of the top art collections in the country. From the Nasher Sculpture Center to the Opera House, there are plenty of sights to see (and hear) if you want to spend your day in the downtown area.

Parks and places to relax outside are scattered throughout the downtown area. If you’re looking for a place to eat lunch in the ArtsDistrict, check out some of the food trucks that stop by on certain days. If getting food out of a moving vehicle isn’t quite your style, check out some of the family run restaurants that line the downtown streets in uptown.

Victory Park has brought the bright lights of Times Square next to the American Airlines Center, and the Stars and Mavs will be entering their playoff pushes. If you want to see world-class athletes playing at the top of their sport make sure to end your adventures downtown by catching a game.

Dallas has brought art, music, food, and sports for everyone in the metroplex to enjoy! If you are looking for a place to get away and get outside, look no further than the center of the metroplex.
