With the beginning of the much anticipated Fall Break this Monday, most of us are ready to get out of town and just relax for a few days at home or lie on a beach somewhere.

However, for those of us who aren’t jetting out of town this weekend, there is still plenty of action inside the Dallas bubble to fill our time.
