One night in Grapevine, TX–Winter Loop to Austin
We visited Grapevine in January 2017 as part of our Winter Loop to Austin trip. After two days in Memphis, we wanted to hightail it to Austin as quickly as possible, which meant a long day of driving. Eyeballing the map, it seemed that the Dallas area was a good distance to shoot for, so…
