I'll be graduating next month from Anthem College(online classes). The graduation will be in Grapevine, Texas at the convention center. I would like to know what and where is the best place to eat, stay and maybe something to do. I have a 3 year old son and I would hate staying in a ugly hotel or a bad side of the city. PLEASE HELP..

yeah, Gaylord is great, if pricey; Grapevine isn't really big enough to have a "bad side", there are a lot of hotels to choose from due to airport, depends on your budget. If you do stay in Grapevine, try to eat at Tolbert's on main st., re-do of an old timey chili parlor and owned by descendant of the great Texas writer Frank X. Tolbert (who wrote the definitive treatise on chili, "A bowl of red").
You could ride the tarantula train to Fort Worth ("where the west begins")
GV has the usual chain restaurants. Saltgrass is OK for steak, or Silver Fox or Bob's for a high dollar meaty treat.
Or....you could stay in Dallas, not that far away (~15 miles) and lots more to do.....Grapevine has a cutesy old main street, but that's about it, unless you like watching planes take off and land. Oh, and shopping at Grapevine Mills outlet mall, if you're into that.

Stay at the very nice Gaylord if you can.
