An Eyeful for Architecture Enthusiasts
Galveston is called a grand island city for a reason. It rests off the Gulf of Mexico and once ruled the coast for years. After being hit by a devastating hurricane in 1900, Galveston rebuilt and today travelers come from all over to see its many architectural treats. Along with shopping, eating and sightseeing, you can take tours of the city's gingerbread houses and Italianate mansions.
Where Wanderers Find Their Way
Just north of Texas are the beautiful Ouachita Mountains in southeastern Oklahoma. This stunning mass of land is full of gorgeous foliage and scenic hiking trails, as well as a mysterious set of runestones that are believed to have been carved by Vikings. The Ouachita Mountains are a terrific place to travel for anyone who wants to get away from the bright lights of the city.
Not Your Average Day at Church
If you've lived in Texas for just about any length of time, you've probably heard of the Painted Churches of Fayette County. They have been featured on television, in magazines and in newspapers throughout the state and country. The Painted Churches may appear demure on the outside, but inside of all of them you'll find lush gold-leaf embellishments, polished marble columns, intricate woodwork and other details that are hard not to marvel over.
Live Like a Cowboy
Bandera offers travelers a dose of true cowboy lifestyle with its plethora of dude ranches, many of which line the beautiful cypress and oak-filled banks of the Medina River. Go for a weekend of camping and hiking or spend the day visiting the city's many sightseeing attractions, restaurants and shops.
