The Dallas Aquqrium would be fun for a toddler. It's indoor so it's air conditioned and theres a lot to see inside. It's good for a few hours. It's located in downtown Dallas.

Make sure it's the Dallas World Aquarium.

Well its set we are coming to Dallas we are getting up around 3:30 am and leaving around 4:00am and driving into Arlington to gearheads performance to drop my truck off for cams, and dyno tune and getting a rental car to drive around while the truck is getting worked on. We know Friday night we will be eating at pasodos in mesquite. Then Saturday looks like the Dallas world aquarium, then take the wife to Terrell to the tanger outlet mall, then later that night we are doing the medieval times. So what else is there to do while we are there?

You should go to Grapevine Mills Mall instead of Tanger, unless there is another reason for going to Terrell. Grapevive Mills is much bigger, lot more stores.

We're heading to Dallas that weekend too -- catching Amtrak on Friday morning and taking it as far as Austin. Staying at a hotel in Austin that evening, and then taking Amtrak back to Dallas on Saturday.

My 4-year-old son is a train fanatic, so we thought the trip to Austin and back would be just enough time to give him the "flavor" of a real train trip -- we'll have lunch right on the train and be on it long enough that he felt like he was on a real adventure. Let's just say that me and the boy are more excited about the trip than momma is......

So on a "train" note, if you are going to be up near Grapevine, there is a neat little excursion train that takes short leisure trips around the area -- check it out if you're a rail fan......
