Top 7 Things to Do in McKinney TX for Spring Break 2012!

Spring Break in McKinney, TX

It's officially Spring Break in Texas! Now that McKinney ISD has released the children to their parents for one whole week...you may be wondering what to do with them!!

Have no fear....here are my Top 7 things to do in and around McKinney for the week of March 12-18!

1. Enjoy Towne Lake Park - rumor has it that there are still quite a few fish left over from February's Trout Derby - see if you can snag one! If not, enjoy paddle boats, volleyball courts, playground, 1.2 mile jogging path or horseshoes.

2. See a movie at iPic Theaters in Fairview - this isn't your normal stadium seating popcorn and candy slinging theater. At iPic you can reserve recliners complete with chairs, your own waiter and a selection of gourmet food, beer and wine. And of course you can still enjoy some popcorn and sweets!

3. Go Golfing! Are you kidding? There are literally 5,000 golf courses in McKinney. OK, that's a slight exaggeration...but even if there's more people playing this week, it won't matter...there's plenty of green space to go around. OR - just stick to Top Golf in Allen! Either way, you can get your golfing fix without having to travel too far.

4. Hit up Main Street McKinney! Go shopping at a boutique you've been promising yourself and your teenage daughters you'd check out, binge on some old fashioned candy or popcorn at Mom & Pops, or unwind after the kids have been put to bed at Landon's winery or Grotto.

5. Bike, run, skateboard, Segway or just WALK around the many jogging and hike/bike trails around Stonebridge Ranch and Adriatica. The Crepe Myrtles are beginning to bloom and it's just BEAUTIFUL outside! Perfect time to renew that New Years resolution you made to "exercise more"...and now you can do it with the kids by your side!

6. Want to swim, but don't enjoy freezing pool temps? Head over to the Allen Natatorium! It's closer than Hurricane Harbor, 10% of the price, INDOORS and still offers up water slides, a lazy river and jungle gym thing for kids to go nuts on!

7....and on the 7th day....REST!!! Do absolutely NOTHING. Staying in PJ's just might be in order!

So there you have it....have fun and RELAX this week! Re-connect with your kids and then share with me YOUR favorite things to do!
