A Few of Our Favorite Things...

I recommend a lot of great products, places and brands on this page. And, if I'm being honest with you guys, I don't make money on 99% of the things that I do. 

I don't even have ads on my website... So each click, while amazing, does nothing for me financially!

So, I've rounded up a few of my favorite things. These are all referral links or affiliate links. I genuinely love the products... But if you click and purchase, I *may* get a kickback.

Thanks for supporting our adventures!

Best Indoor Waterparks in DFW

Cooler months are coming (hopefully), which means, before too long, we will have to move all of our Texas-sized fun indoors. No worries, though! DFW has plenty of amazing indoor spots that cater to fun for guests of all ages.

Indoor water parks are one of my most favorite things. Seriously- where were all these great spots when I was a kid?! Growing up in northern Illinois I would have killed for a spot to swim and splash in November! 

All of the places on this list allow to you play around indoors without having to stay the night anywhere. You can simply buy a day pass, throw on your bathing suit and get to splashing!

Indoor surfing at the Cove at the Lakefront in Little Elm! Epic Waters in Grand Prairie also has one of these fun features.
