A little bit more detail from my end!

Two adults, two kids (11, 13) / June 2024 / Leaving from Des Moines and ending up in either San Antonio or Houston (via Dallas-Fort Worth) / length of trip is yet to be confirmed, but working on around 10 days after leaving Des Moines to flying out of Texas.

I actually did a fair bit of research for a trip that didn't end up happening a few years ago, so I feel relatively comfortable with our DFW>San Antonio> Houston section, but the bit from Des Moines south is a bit more unfamiliar.

Any recommendations on the route or where to stop along the way?

Thank you in advance!

16 replies to this topic

If you have not experienced the Oklahoma City Memorial I highly recommend a stop there.

Austin (TX) is worth visiting.

Lake Murray State Park (OK) and Lake Murray Lodge are worth considering.

We stayed at Lake Murray Lodge one night after visiting Oklahoma City in September 2023.

What sorts of things are you looking to see and do along the way? And how many days are you allotting to get from Des Moines to Dallas?

I-35 is the most direct and quickest route between Des Moines and Dallas, and you'd be passing through Kansas City, Wichita, and Oklahoma City. You could easily spend a full day or 2 in Kansas City checking out the sites. Wichita has its own set of attractions, as does Oklahoma City. I'd suggest checking out the Tripadvisor pages for each city (look at the KC Missouri page, not KC Kansas) to see what attractions in each city might appeal to you and the other family members.

Kansas City - Hallmark, Union Station, and a good but sobering World War I museum

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g44535-d104401-Reviews-Hallmark_Visitors_Center-Kansas_City_Missouri.html

Kansas City to Oklahoma City

then to Dallas/Fort Worth

For Oklahoma City national cowboy museum (good museum and puts you in the mood for Fort Worth), then the zoo is nearby. A good place to stay for the night is the bricktown area.

https://nationalcowboymuseum.org/

https://www.okczoo.org/

https://www.bricktownokc.com/

bricktown area is also where the minor league Dodger team plays at - good stadium

https://www.milb.com/oklahoma-city

Thanks everyone for your input!

For the Des Moines to Dallas part, I was thinking maybe three nights? Then that leaves us around six or seven nights to explore around DFW, Hill country, San Antonio, go to the Space Centre (and much more).

The city options do sound great, I’ll follow those links and look into them all further.

Normally I would say we’re more scenic countryside and hiking people, but we’re not averse to cities as well - especially good museums with stuff for kids. I know that doesn’t really help narrow down suggestions much!

Des Moines to Dallas is a 2 day drive along 35.

Over 4 days…..

Day 1 to KC

Day 2 to Wichita

Day 3 to Oklahoma City

Day 4 to Dallas

There are some alternate non interstate routes you can take but still follow I-35 route

An alternate route is going south from KC to Joplin or Tulsa instead of Wichita

"Normally I would say we’re more scenic countryside and hiking people..." I have to ask how a family from Australia chose a road trip holiday from Des Moines to Houston or San Antonio via Dallas. Have you already visited the national parks?

The worst drive of my life was through Oklahoma City to Houston via Dallas, horrible traffic, stop and go on interstates at times, worse than my Chicago driving experiences. Maybe we hit rush hour, I have tried to block out the experience. Be prepared for some frustrations.

I can recommend Living History Farms in Des Moines and a tour of Iowa Capitol building. See how many hawks you can spot along interstate 35 to Kansas City. Leave the interstate for a few minutes at exit 52 to see Imes Covered Bridge.

Another Kansas City attraction to consider is Arabia Steamboat Museum.

You might want to attend a baseball game. Kansas City, Dallas, and Houston all have major league teams.

Just curious. Any particular reason you picked this section of the US for a road trip? Are you visiting family?

+1 for the World War I Museum in KC, MO. It's excellent and, as noted above, sobering. A trip to KC would not be complete w/o BBQ at Arthur Bryant's.

And echoing posts 7 & 8, while these states have their charms and attractions, this road trip would not be in my top 5 for scenic beauty and activities (or food!) And it's getting pretty hot in Texas that time of year. I know a couple of Houston couples who spend June, July, and August in Colorado because the summer temps in Houston have become intolerable.

CultureVulture….Speaking of BBQ, a trip to Texas would not be complete with a stop at Franklin in Austin.:-)

Also, the OKC is a must. Bring Kleenex.

Tech heads to Hinkle Fieldhouse for first true road test against Butler

GAME DETAILS

Where: Hinkle Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana

When: 5:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 30

Watch it on: FS1

What to know: Butler

Head coach: Thad Matta

Record: 5-2

Preseason conference selection: 10th (Big East)

After a successful trip to the Bahamas where it took part in the Battle 4 Atlantis, Texas Tech is back in the continental United States but will once again travel to Indianapolis to take on Butler . The Red Raiders dropped their tournament opener against Villanova, but rebounded for wins against Northern Iowa and Michigan in the ensuing two days of action. Tech currently holds a 5-1 record, but have yet to compete in a true road game. Thursday will be the first opportunity.

“We’re really excited about the opportunity to play in the Big 12-Big East (Battle),” Tech head coach Grant McCasland said Tuesday. “Representing the Big 12 is a big deal to us and know that having played and been a part of the best league in the country, there’s an expectation. Butler’s a fantastic team, playing in Hinkle Fieldhouse will be an awesome opportunity for our group, we have a ton of respect. They went 2-1, very similar to what we did, in their last (multiple-team event) and they got a great team. You can tell they have a year under their belt, even though they have quite a few newcomers, we’re excited about the opportunity.”

The newcomers, as McCasland mentioned, are headlined by Pierre Brooks II . Brooks, a Detroit native who spent the two previous seasons under Tom Izzo at Michigan State, transferred to Butler prior to this season. A 6-foot-6 guard/forward, Brooks is the Bulldogs’ leading scorer, averaging 16.7 points per game. He is coming off two strong performances- Brooks scored 26 against Penn State and 25 against former Red Raider Chibuzo Agbo and Boise State at the ESPN Events Invitational.

“I think when you look at Butler they’ve got a lot of new guys that are filling out roles too,” McCasland said. “You see them trying to adapt to new opportunities, so I feel like they’ve got different guys that are playing well on different nights. But the physicality that Pierre brings and the way he’s played recently, you could tell it was a big reason why they won their last two games. It feels like they’re shifting a little bit in who they want to be a primary, go-to guy and how they’re playing and they’re learning their team just like we are.”

Back in September, Tech football head coach Joey McGuire noted he had received pointers from McCasland about playing on the road, for good reason. McCasland’s teams at North Texas eventually became formidable playing away from Denton, as he amassed a 43-34 road record while coaching the Mean Green, including a 10-3 clip in the 2022-23 season. McCasland will be looking to use his own advice when he leads the Red Raiders into Hinkle.

“I think your togetherness and how committed you are in hostile environments and we just haven’t seen that as a team yet,” McCasland said. “I mean, we’ve faced neutral site games and home games. So how do you do it in the face of adversity? Well, you really come together and there’s a cohesion involved and timeouts and free throws and in between plays and how you communicate with each other. It just has to be at the highest level. That’s really going to be our emphasis, is how connected we can stay and how committed to each other can we stay over the course of 40 minutes on the road. It’s always that, but it gets amplified when you play road games.”

The Bulldogs were selected to finish 10th out of 11 Big East teams heading into Thad Matta’s second season at the helm. Pierre Brooks is one of 10 newcomers on this year’s Butler squad. As a team, the Bulldogs shoot around 34 percent from beyond the three-point arc, with their best performance from downtown coming in a loss to 2023 Final Four attendee Florida Atlantic when Butler shot 9-19. Jahmyl Telfort is another name to watch. The 6-foot-7 forward is second on the team in scoring (13.9 points per game), and is another transfer hailing from Northeastern. Telfort is one of the five transfers that averaged double-digit scoring at their respective schools a year ago, as he averaged 16 a night at Northeastern.
