If you’re going to splurge on dinner in Dallas, Beehive is the one that stuck with us. The food was incredible, the service was thoughtful, and the whole place felt like something you don’t usually get to experience with kids in tow.

If you’ve only got 48 hours in Dallas with two kids, rent the convertible, hit the zoo, let them run wild on the fake grass downtown, and soak up the sunshine. It was our first family flight, and between the tacos, the smiles, and the Southern hospitality, it turned into one of our favorite trips ever.

I was anxious, exhausted, and flying for the first time with two kids in tow, but JetBlue made it manageable in a way I didn’t expect. From calm gate agents to kind flight attendants and surprisingly smooth boarding, it felt like an experience I could actually get through without falling apart.

As a first-time flyer with anxiety, I expected chaos. But Boston Logan was calm, organized, and surprisingly gentle from start to finish. And when my daughter left her backpack behind, not only did they find it, they returned it with every single note, pen, and dollar still inside!

Landing at DFW was shockingly smooth, even with two kids and post-flight anxiety, the layout, energy, and Southern hospitality made it feel easy. Just don’t expect much from the terminal IHOP, and give yourself extra time if you want coffee before your flight.
