🥵 Because summer is already kickin into HOTness before 10a ... here's my perfect weekend escape the heat plan ... . 🌳 Start early with a walk at Harry Myers Park in Rockwall. Get there before 9am & you'll beat both the heat & the crowds. . ☕ Next stop ... Fire & Fable on the Downtown Rockwall Square. Grab an iced coffee, a mimosa (no judgment) & whatever bacon magic they're serving that day. Then wander through the shops while pretending it's not already 97 degrees by 11am. . 🍺 When it's officially too hot to make good decisions, cross the lake & claim a shady spot on the patio at Flying Saucer in Garland. Cold drink. Great food. *they have Air conditioning inside if things get desperate. . One of my favorite things about living in the Dallas Metroplex is that there's always something fun to do ... even when the weather feels like we're being slow roasted. . Got a favorite summer spot in Rockwall, Rowlett, Garland, or around the lake? Drop it below ⬇️ . OR .
