Heading to Dallas for the Mavericks Championship Victory Parade on Thursday? Read These Tips.

Posted on June 15, 2011 | 2 comments

250,000 people are expected to descend on Dallas on Thursday to pay tribute to the Dallas Mavericks after their NBA championship win over the Miami Heat.

If you are one of the dedicated Mavs fans who are willing to fight the crowds and cheer on the home team at the championship parade, check out this round-up of helpful information:

Parade Start time: Crowds are expected to start gathering several hours before the official start time of 10AM (Thursday, June 16) ~ if you want a good viewing spot along the parade route, you’ll want to get there early. The parade is expected to last an hour and will end in a pep rally at Victory Plaza (only 10,000 will be allowed into the plaza). Visit dallascityhall.com for more event details.
Parade Route: Streets close at 8AM on Thursday along the parade path and fans can line up behind the barricades beginning at 7AM. Festivities begin at the Dallas Convention Center (at Young and Griffin streets downtown), head west on Young Street to Union Station, goes North on Houston Street (past Dealey Plaza), and then to Continental and Victory avenues to end at American Airlines Center. Check out this handy Google Map which shows the route as well as the public transportation train stops along the way.
Getting there by train: Police are urging parade-goers to use public transportation to get to the parade. The Trinity Railway Express is easy to catch from Fort Worth and has two stations along the parade route ~ Victory Station (drops off close to the American Airlines Center) and Union Station, near the parade route start. Do leave yourself some extra time to get to your stop, as the trains are expected to be crowded tomorrow. Go here to get more info on the Trinity Railway Express.
Driving & Parking: Driving into downtown will likely take a great deal of patience, but there is expected to be plenty of parking available once you arrive. Dallas Mayor, Dwaine Caraway says, “We cannot stress enough how important it is for people to come downtown early….we encourage you to take the public transportation, but we also encourage all of you that are coming to carpool.” Go here to see a map of downtown Dallas public parking.
Cost: FREE (Thank you Mark Cuban for footing the bill!)

FUN! 50% OFF Studio Movie Grill Tickets with Today’s Groupon

Posted on June 1, 2011 | 2 comments

Here’s a great Groupon to “put in the back pocket” for a fun outing with the family this summer. Unlike most daily deals, there is no limit to how many tickets you can buy with this Groupon (LOVE that!).

50% OFF At Studio Movie Grill!

Groupon has launched a savings offer of 50% OFF Studio Movie Grill Tickets ~ 3 locations to choose from in DFW (Including Arlington). When you buy today’s Groupon for $6, you will get a gift certificate for a movie ticket and a soda valid until July 28, 2011.

There doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of tickets you can purchase, so that’s great if you want to bring the whole family or go multiple times.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s 50% OFF deal.
Select Dallas as Your Groupon City ~ look for the offer in the right-hand side bar.
Buy your Groupon before the end of the day.
You do have until July 28th to use your Groupon. Since
there is a limited quantity of these certificates available, I would
recommend not waiting too long to make your purchase.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events across the country. I’ve seen their local offers include everything from 50% Off Cowboys Stadium Tour, 50% Off Nordstrom Rack to 75% Off window cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between! I’ve even bought Groupon deals in other cities as a way to save on restaurant dining and entertainment when we travel.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer (or sign up for their emails to have them delivered to your inbox)!

Enjoy and Share! :)

On This Memorial Day, We Thank You

Posted on May 30, 2011 | 1 comment

This Memorial Day, we take a pause in our regular blog posts to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Words are not enough to thank those who have defended our freedom ~ the cost of giving their lives on behalf of their country and the loss to their families is painful and great.

Join me today as we pray for our men and women who serve/served our country, as well as their families. If you have a little bit of time (about half an hour), also listen to this special Memorial Day Broadcast from Family Life Today. Warning ~ you’ll want your kleenex box beside you.
