this is a great post idea, I might do one of things to do in Hamburg!
I went to six flags over Texas when I was little and it was very fun.. & I'd love to ride the DART
I really needed this post because I live in Oklahoma City. I can get to Dallas but once I'm there, I don't know what to do. Thanks for the great ideas. estherdavison@gmail.com
