The shops will have sales galore, so shop'til you drop, then head to Ferre and Cru Wine Bar for sips and nibbles. Free covered parking and valet available.
The Dallas Arboretum:
For the garden lover, 9am - 5pm take Mom to the Dallas Arboretum. It's too late to book the afternoon tea (sold out!) but you can take a tour of the beautiful grounds on a golf cart or look at the beautiful historic buildings off the lake. There are two cafes for a light lunch and a small gift shop. Well worth the trip!
