It is a great place to refresh.

The Lighthouse is a place that is clean and simple (a 100 on their health inspection!) It is a place where first dates get married and couples stargaze through the summer on their patio.

Relax in the quietness while the aroma of coffee lifts into your nose almost by accident. They offer artists a place to showcase their work in the gallery and offer a great stage for musicians to come play before an audience. Great for a date or a change of scenery.

It’s a great attraction for locals and tourists alike.

The White Rhino is located in downtown Cedar Hill, has a massive following but has stayed humbled. It is usually full of people but somehow remains calm and quiet even with it being crowded. They serve sandwiches and baked goods along with coffee. Plus, their menu is easy to read and understand. This is a wonderful place to check email over coffee or come for lunch with a dear friend. The staff is very nice and educated on their drinks. Also, they provide outdoor tables and a pull up service for those who need their java in a hurry.

Lynn Creek Park is an amazing place to visit. It is located by Joe Pool Lake and is such a beautiful place to enjoy throughout spring and summer.

Lester Lorch Park has wonderful views and is also made with people’s competitive nature in mind. It is a disc golf park for pros and novices alike.

It remains quiet though, even if there are other people practicing and playing around you. It is well maintained and gives adventurous types something different to do during their free time.

Pioneer Park is a grand site to visit whether you have lived around Dallas for a lifetime or you are here for a short time. It is nestled in downtown but brings you back to the realities of life that took place over 100 years ago. There is a great cattle drive statue created by Robert Summers that is breathtaking for any individual. It is the largest of its kind and is so detailed that you can almost envision what the cowboys were contemplating while they drove their cattle to their long-away destination. Up the hill from the sculpture is a cemetery that serves as a resting place for some important people of Dallas – founders and mayors are dated back to the 1800s. It’s a quiet place to contemplate where you should head to next.

The Fountain Place is a tranquil place to meet during the day and a romantic place to talk in the evening. It is located in the Arts District of Dallas and is eye-opening to the wonders that make Dallas unique. With trees surrounded by water, one could take a stroll and watch the water or find a nice place to sit and write with the sounds of moving water in the air. With many places to eat nearby, it is a prime location for like-minded guests to talk about everything while the sun goes down, and then watch as the water is illuminated by nightfall.

Traveling and life can cause lots of unwanted stress and tension as you move forward with the year.
