| On Friday I'm going to fetch my yahoo little sister from Ft. Worth and want to take my mom to do something special while I'm there. She's on chemo right now from a brain tumor so it can't be anything too physical; something that wouldn't exhaust her. I asked her where she wanted me to take her and she said to surprise her. I want it to be special; something that will really make her happy. Also, something that won't be insanely expensive because I've already extorted my lifetime limit from my grandfather and a thorough investigation of his finances has not yet revealed my secret trust fund. |

West Texas | It's been more than 20 years since I spent time in FW, but the zoo was pretty good. There was a miniature train you could ride through the zoo, too, and tickets weren't outrageously expensive (then). No idea what it's like there now, or if they even still have a zoo. Probably another victim of the bean counters. |

| Grandpa took her there last month. I offered to go hunting for pimps in the ghetto in hopes of finding some crocodile shoes but she said "behave brat" so I think I will take her to a pottery barn. |

Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | We enjoyed the Botanical Gardens a couple of years ago..........my mom and I that is. Really pretty and well-managed and easy to see things even if you don't feel or get around the best.
Been too many years since I was at the zoo, but my memories of it are like tallgrassneil's. I loved it, but have no clue if it still exists or not. |

What he said. Have been to the botanical gardens many times. Free parking, quite, just a nice area. Reata is good, ate at the new one several times, the old one blew away in the last tornado. Get there chicken fried steak! The reata is Alpine is a favorite, think I was one of there fisrt customers. Downtown is nice, lots of shops to go in.
