T.F.
Do downtown Dallas. We live in Allen and we frequent Hotel Zaza a lot. Great bar, things to do downtown, nice spa. Same for Crescent hotel, and W hotel.
Find a weekend when there is a concert or ball game you might like at AA Center and go enjoy a weekend of fun, good food, atmosphere!
Other than that, San Antonio is fun, especially on the riverwalk area. We are not into driving if it is over 2 hrs, we hop on Southwest air and we are there so fast.
Enjoy!
