Dallas Rocks!

Neiman Marcus Building, Downtown Dallas

When you think of Texas, cowboys and ranches come to mind, right? Think again. Although I live in Dallas, I think it would be a fun vacation spot for girls who don’t. Dallas is a big city, but not as crowded and congested as places like New York City. A fun place to visit when you’re in Dallas is the West Village, where there’re tons of cute boutiques and great restaurants. Another must-see place is the Galleria mall, one of the largest malls in Texas. The Dallas Zoo is also awesome if you like animals. If you are into fashion, definitely check out the first Neiman-Marcus ever built, in downtown Dallas. It is beautiful, and every year at Christmastime, they unveil a different theme for the store, and decorate a tree. While you’re there, browse around the Kids section, where there is a large assortment of Juicy Couture items and more. If your mom wants to shop there too, where there are small showrooms with designers like Chanel and Prada, your dad can relax in the Men’s Lounge, where there are three TV’s, magazines, the newspaper, and everything to keep him entertained while your mom spends all his money!!! If you’re looking for delicious food, try Potbelly Sandwich Works. The sandwiches are hot and fresh when you get them, and they make it right in front of you. They also pile it high with whatever you want, so if you want turkey, they add LOTS of turkey. There is a dartboard hung up, and it has the names of all the sandwiches with the words, "Can’t Decide? Ask for a Dart!" There is live music often as well. Looking for a luxury hotel? Hotel ZaZa is where all the celebrities stay when they tour in Dallas. It is on the list of the 500 Best Hotels in the World, and you will not be upset with the hotel room that tempts you to stay in it all day, rather than just night. It also has great food and fabulous services. I’ve told you a lot about Dallas, and I hope you visit!

Lexington, Massachusetts

The Buckman Tavern, Lexington, MA

Hi my name is Caroline and I live in Lexington, Massachusetts. Lexington is a medium sized town with a lot to see. The Revolutionary War took place right in Lexington. You can go and stand on one of the battlefields that is now a park. Also in Lexington center are some old colonial houses. One of those houses is called "The Buckman Tavern". (A tavern is a hotel.) I have been in there for a third grade field trip. In the tavern you can see many things. My 2 favorite things I saw were the door Paul Revere knocked on and a chair George Washington sat on. There are other cool things in the Buckman Tavern too. Also in Lexington is "The Lexington National Heritage Museum". That has lots of cool stuff there too. So you can see why you should visit Lexington. Oh I forgot…nearby there is a huge mall also! So come visit!
