RE: My upcoming travel plan and some random photos

Hey there!
Thanks for taking your time replying and for all the tips at first!
I had somewhere in my mind that you mentioned once that you are from Dallas.
Botanical Gardens seems very very nice! I had them on my to do list but at the end they fell out of the busy schedule. Upon your recommendation I will most likely include it back :) I also saw thing like Japanese garden. Is it worth visiting? In Dallas that is a seperate thing, but in Fort Worth is together with botanical garden. Which would you suggest to visit if you would have to choose one.
I read about Fort Worth Zoo being one of the best in US. I have seen the one in San Diego and LA and especially the San Diego one is really awesome! In Texas I somehow decided to include Fossil Rim Wildlife Centre rather than zoo. Have you been there? I like animals walking freely and to be able to come really close to them. Like a safari which that isn't.
I expect so much about Caddo lake. Have you been there also? I have no idea how to visit it. Is there only one "marine"? And you rent your paddle boat there? Are trails easy to navigate and can you actually take good photos from the boat. Are that kind of boats for two adults? I don't have any prereservation...
I will probably left out museums. I am not really much into it and also I don't have any time available like you already guessed :)
I am sure I will have an awesome time! If you would like we can try to meet up? Thank you for all the help, really appreciate it @castleberry!

The Ft. Worth botanicals are awesome... so if you are in the area and have time i would do it. You will get some great photos. Since Dallas has the Japanese garden and botanicals combined i would do that if you could only pick one of the two.

Fossil Rim is really cool and i do think you will enjoy that. Sometimes when the animals roam free seeing them can be hit or miss. But overall, you will probably get much better photos as they range freely.

Caddo lake is beautiful. I haven't been there since i was young so i don't recall. Most lakes in Texas are kind of a bring your own boat and drop it in then park your vehicle. They probably have a center at the front where you can get information... but i most lakes here don't have guided tours and such that i am aware of.

Almost all of the lakes either have rest and camping areas or places to have daytime events. It's kind of a free-for-all. There isn't much structure to visiting a lake. It's usually up to the individuals to decide where to go and what to do.

Marinas are usually places where people that have boats store them when they are not at the lake. Mostly so they don't have to tow them back and forth. I don't know if renting a boat would be the best use of your time since it's so limited. I think you will get better photos exploring on foot.

I don't currently drive so it might be difficult to meet up with your busy schedule. Regardless, i do hope you have an awesome time! Let me know if i can be of any more help to you figuring things out! =)

Awesome!
Thank you for all the tips.
Hope you don't mind if I will ask some additional question in the upcoming week.
Well if we won't see eachother in the States, you have to come to Slovenia :)
Have a good one!

No problem bro! Ask any questions any time and i will do my best to get you some answers.
I am looking to head back to Sweden in May. My girl's mom is from Slovenia... so it would be cool to see her motherland! hahaha
Take care browski and hit me up anytime!

Thanks a lot!
And wow, what a coincidence! Can't believe that she is actually from Slovenia. That is so awesome. Hit me up if or better say when you will be in Slovenia.
Take care!

Yes, my girl is half Chilean and half Slovenian but born in Sweden. Her mom was born in Slovenia but left at a very early age for Sweden. So, it's an interesting combo for sure. If/when we ever plan a trip i will most definitely be asking you a bunch of questions in advance! hahaha.
You take care too bro. We will speak more soon. =)
