Top 5 Views in Texas Climb 425 feet up Texas' pink granite dome, a rock that was formed in the Precambrian era more than 1 billion years ago - before life emerged on earth.

Road Trip: Corpus for Dog Lovers When you see the chemical plants on the edge of town, you may want to keep on driving, but give Corpus Christi a chance and it will reveal a few surprises.

Road Trip: Fredericksburg for Couples If you love scented candles and jam, you will also love Fredericksburg, Texas. If, like me, you despise scented candles and have only a passing interest in jam, there's still a lot to like about this central Texas bed-and-breakfast mecca. Couples in particular will appreciate the relaxing atmosphere and the surprising number of things to do in the area. Read More... |
