Best Texas Trips for a Single Woman

Sheila Chase
Are you a single woman? If so, try one of the fabulous Texas trips to help you let your hair down:

Bask in the beauty of Granbury, Texas. If you enjoy variety shows, beautiful lakes, and small-town shopping, Granbury, Texas is the place for you. You can lodge at one of the popular bed-and-breakfast houses, where you can get all the peace and quiet you need before heading off for a fun-filled day in historic Granbury.

The Captain's House, in particular, provides a restful stay. This bed and breakfast situates itself right on the edge of beautiful Lake Granbury. You can eat your breakfast out on the Victorian-Era balcony and then take a scenic walk down to the lake, where you can sit and feed the ducks as they swim by. Visit captainshouseinfo.com for reservation information.

Be sure to attend one of the Granbury Opera House musicals, located at 133 East Pearl Street. You'll find some of the best talent around at this opera house. It's just the right size for comfort, too. Many of their shows are definitely worth seeing. Even so, absolutely don't miss out on the chance to see Gypsy Rose Lee. Visit granburyoperahouse.net for more information.

The Granbury Riverboat Cruise has suspended operations, but be sure to watch the website because this cruise is one of the best experiences you can have in visitor-friendly Granbury, Texas. They serve up some delicious food on this dinner cruise, and you get to enjoy the breeze from the lake as you troll through the waters. Visit granburyriverboat.com.

Dive into some shopping in Dallas, Texas. If you are looking for a faster-paced weekend, try Dallas, Texas. You can shop all day long at the Dallas Galleria, or you can opt for bargain shopping at the famous Dillard's store outlet, located at the Six Flags Shopping Mall in nearby Arlington, Texas.

You can take in some history at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, located at 411 Elm Street. Here you can find out about the fateful events surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Go early and stay late, though. You'll need to spend some time trying to unravel this mystery, and you'll likely leave more confused than when you got there.

Take in some night life in the Deep Ellum district, located just east of downtown Dallas, Texas. Here you can see art at its finest in many forms. If you enjoy self expression, Deep Ellum is the place for you. You can take in some sight seeing, eat out, or enjoy one of the local bands that regularly perform in Deep Ellum.

If you lead an alternative lifestyle, try the Oak Lawn District, located in the heart of Dallas, Texas. You can dine at Hunky's, drink coffee at Café Brazil, hang out at Snookie's, or party at JR's. Whatever you enjoy, you'll find it in Oak Lawn Dallas. The best part is that both gay and straight people frequent this district, so drop on in and have some fun.
