2020 is certainly The Year of the Road Trip!  And if you and your family live in Dallas, you might be very interested in fun Day Trips from Dallas!  I’m defining a day trip as a destination within 100 miles of Dallas.  So basically, about a 90 minute car ride there, and a 90 minute car ride back to Dallas.  No hotels or overnight stays required!
