It's always a big topic of discussion whenever there are plans for family members to come and visit for a weekend or longer: What are we going to do with them while they are here??. The answers can vary based on several criteria. What are their interests? Are they Museum People? Do they like to eat out and try local restaurants and establishments to get a local flavor, or stick with the chain places we have here that they also have back home? Do they like to shop? So many variables to consider when working out a plan to entertain people who don't live here.

Doesn't matter what time of day. Doesn't matter which meal breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you're planning to eat out-you'd better allow yourself enough time to wait. Wait inside for a table, or wait in a drive-thru line. Because in Midland Texas people LOVE to eat out. Constantly. As in ALL THE TIME. And if it's a weekend and you're headed to McDonald's for breakfast and it's 9:50 am and you haven't left the house yet forget it.
