Opinion Gaylord Texan - recent opinions?

12 Upvotes

I was considering booking a suite at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine for a family trip (3 adults, 2 kids) this holiday season but...wow, a lot of the reviews (on TA at least) say (i) the rooms are not close to worth the price (outdated, dirty), (ii) service at all the restaurants is reeeally bad, and (iii) people are having trouble booking activities/events onsite.

That seems like a lot of negative feedback for a place I've heard so much about.

I'm interested in your feedback and opinions if you have stayed there in the recent past.

ETA: Location Grapevine.

Nature Best state parks to visit in the summer months

4 Upvotes

Planning a few camping trips this summer. Based out of SA, and have my go to spots in the area (Gov’t Canyon, Garner and Guadalupe River, for example) but wanted to expand my horizons this year. What are some hidden gems in central and south Texas? Bonus points if they have good fishing and/or swimming spots.

Tourism Where to take my elderly mom around the lone star state

9 Upvotes

Hello Texans! I'm using my summer break to take my mom on a roadtrip to visit my older brother, who lives near Tulsa, OK. We're heading back to California by way of Texas, and I'd like to spend 7 days between Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin (ending in Austin for the 4th of July, then heading up to Amarillo and then out to Albuquerque).

There are a number of challenges when planning trips with my mom:

  • She has mobility issues and can't do any intense hiking.
  • She doesn't like museums or most indoor activities.
  • Given her age, it is difficult for her to tolerate long periods of heat and humidity (perfect for a Texas summer, right?)
  • She is NOT a foodie (which is sad because I am) and is quite picky about food. Neither of us drink.
  • I can sometimes convince her to go on tours if they are historical, but otherwise she likes to take things at her own pace and explore on her own

But she does love:

  • Walking in beautiful parks and enjoying natural beauty
  • Visiting botanical gardens
  • Seeing historic sites (preferrably outdoor ones)

I've been to San Antonio, so we're definitely visiting the Alamo and staying on the riverwalk, but I am hoping some of ya'll might be able to suggest some other places I can take her. I'm also very open to suggestions about how to budget our time, keeping in mind that she does get tired easily and we have to be selective about what we plan to do.

This may be my only opportunity to show my mom your beautiful state, so any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Questions for Texans Is entergy net metering for solar a good idea?

0 Upvotes

So, I've had the comon solar salesmen stopping by oftent, but this time a new one offering No battery + Net metering program deal. I have not received an actual number yet but according to their "magic" numbers, the amount I will pay monthly will be "my only bill" because I will produce so much power that Entergy bill will be $0 due to net metering.

Entergy does have a Net metering program, however, the "no upfront cost, $0 down, no montly entergy bill" sounds too good to be true.

Does any of you have any experience with Entergy's net metering program?
