I'd love to go, but I doubt we will since it's so far away. I hope you and your husband do get to travel more now that he's retired.

I am not counting the three or so times we cut through the tip of the panhandle on our way to Colorado. We have been to the Dallas - Fort Worth area twice. The first time we went from there to San Antonio and Austin. We barely scratched the surface of what was available to see. The second trip to Dallas was for the RT convention after which we headed for Big Bend National Park. We spent several days there, but the hiking was kept to a minimum since the temperature was in the high 90's to 105. From there we went to Fort Davis. They are doing a nice job of restoring the site. We also went to the McDonald Observatory. It was a day of low clouds and the entire facility was clouded in. I feel sorry for the astronomers who had signed up to use the telescopes that week. They weren't able to see anything. The lodge at the State Park is lovely and very reasonable. From there we headed to Arizona and New Mexico. There is much more we would like to see and hope to get back soon. My husband is now retired, so we will be able to explore on our own timetable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496827248927256885.post-74331377907264223012017-01-05T19:49:08.182-06:002017-01-05T19:49:08.182-06:00You could take several vacations to Texas and not ...You could take several vacations to Texas and not begin to see all of it.

Texas is so big and there's so much to see. I haven't begun to see all of it. One place I really liked but forgot to mention is the Palo Dura Canyon.

We haven't stopped to visit or look at anything, but it is on our list of places to go play tourist. I would love to go see The Alamo and other historical places.

Of course the Alamo is a favorite, too.Susan Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885508869904521374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496827248927256885.post-81359981519647701202017-01-05T11:15:18.768-06:002017-01-05T11:15:18.768-06:00Vicki, your pictures are lovely.

Thank you for sharing them.<br /> I have not been to Texas myself but have seen many pictures, as I have cousins that live there and my mom has been there (she said I didn't need to go since she told me all about it.) I too would LOVE to see a field of Bluebonnets.

The other two trips were brief: one to Midland, where my mother and my father-in-law grew up, and one to Dallas for an ACFW conference, where all I got to see was the hotel right at the airport. I'd like to see San Antonio and take the River Walk and visit the Alamo. I'd like to visit our relatives in Midland again and get a chance to look around that part of West Texas. I'd like to explore Houston, Dallas and Galveston. Like you, I'd love to see a huge display of bluebonnets in bloom.Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.com
