I wanted to introduce you to another small town that is a rock’s throw away from my home. Southlake, Texas is known for it’s hometown charm. On one side of them is Keller, Texas another small town with the cutest Stores.
You could make a day of it and attend both events in both Cities and stop for dinner and movies. If you have the opportunity and means you could do a Staycation and take a break from everyday life. Which I wish we had the opportunity to do but that is out for this year but something for us to look forward to in the future.
Southlake is a magical place to visit during the holiday season! From holiday lights and carriage rides to photos with Santa, Southlake will help create your most memorable season yet.
