Enjoyed a Thanksgiving weekend in Denton. My daughter Megan lives there and goes to UNT. My son Casey lives in Frisco and oldest daughter Candee lives in Coppell so Denton was a central location for visiting. Son Zac came up from Austin for a short visit too. I left here on Thanksgiving day so avoided a lot of traffic. Was grateful for all the places that were open along the way for fuel and snacks.
