WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING??

The caps. The grammatical errors. the cringe.

What’s a “chivvie”?

People in their 50s who have always wanted to go to Dallas? What is this demographic? People who were die-hard fans of the TV show Dallas?

From your wish list, it honestly sounds like you should visit Fort Worth. Fort Worth has The Stockyards for your honky tonk bars and rodeo culture.

You think there are rodeos every weekend in Dallas? That’s hilarious.

Agree with PP recommending Ft Worth. They also have great museums, including my all time favorite, The Kimball Art Mueum.

Definitely Fort Worth over Dallas, but make sure to visit Dealey Plaza.

I was just in Dallas (for work) and laughing so hard at this!

It's fine but never in my life did I previously think "omg I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Dallas"

I hope it's all they dreamed of and more, OP.

I have made my husband and best friends swear they won't ever surprise me, because I hate that.

so most think staying in fort worth over Dallas?

They have an Auberge there, any one stayed?

Any must do restaurants in either place? Where would you suggest for a memorable birthday dinner? somewhere unique to Texas.

The Adolphus Hotel is beautiful, lots of restaurants within walking distance although I have no specific recommendations.

Don't miss the Sixth Floor Museum and the Grassy Knoll. Head to the Fort Worth Stockyards for honky tonk and rodeo.

If sister and DH have "always" wanted to go to Dallas, what is their attraction to it? It's fine, but not exactly a destination to aspire to.

Bishop Arts District in Dallas is nice and walkable- lots of restaurants and cute shops.

I hope you have fun, OP!
