I have been tasked with the grueling chore of designing a weekend getaway from Dallas using Membership Rewards points.
I know! I know!
It is pure torture!
I live 20 minutes from DFW airport and would like to come up with something fun, fabulous and a bit off the beaten path.
American Express is giving one of my readers a $100 AmEx gift card for a little planning assistance.

American Express is also placing 150,000 Membership Rewards points in my newly opened rewards account to plan this trip. Thanks American Express!
I would head to the nearest water park.
You should fly to Coeur d’Alene, ID. They have one of the nations best golf courses, Silverwood theme park, clear lakes to swim in and mountains for hiking. you coud even be adventurous and go parasailing.

Definitely by train to Seattle because this is the time of year it shines…literally as in we are actually gettin sunshine and remembering there is a fiery orb in the sky–not just gray clouds. 🙂
Where should I go? On a tour of the national parks!
Should I travel by train, plan or automobile? This is definitely a road trip.
What should I do when I get there? Hike, explore, and picnic at the gorgeous surroundings 🙂
Hmmmm…close? I would head to the Riverwalk in San Antonio.
Far away? Plane trip to Europe.
Take a flight to Cancun and lay on the beach for the entire time you are there!
Ok, I’m going to send you to my home state. Being summer time, you need to fly to Seattle, and experience the PNW in all of it’s glory. Hit Mt. Rainier, Pikes Place Market, visit Snoqualmie Falls, go to a Mariners game (maybe against the Rangers), and venture to the Olympic Penninsula, stopping by Ocean Shores for the kite festival.
Enjoy some Northwest cuisine, such as Pacific Salmon, fresh dungeoness crab pulled from Puget Sound, etc. Visit some of the best micro breweries and wineries in the country.
Oh man, I’m making myself homesick…
You should go to all the local children’s museums in and around Dallas. Most of them are free, and very exciting for children of all ages 🙂
