Liz and I joined Gumption’s Necker Island Nature Walk on Sir Richard Branson’s private paradise one sunny afternoon, where we met lemurs, kangaroos, parrots, flamingos, peacocks, and even a giant tortoise — a walk that turned into a true Caribbean safari.

Rainforests, Crocs, and Dumplings: A Day at the Dallas World Aquarium
We finally checked out the Dallas World Aquarium, and wow—it’s part zoo, part rainforest, part “whoa, that thing could eat me.” From flamingos and owls to crocs, tarantulas, and even tiny frogs that pack poison, it was unforgettable. We capped it off with dumplings at Jeng Chi in Richardson—because no adventure is complete without food.
