It has been said that Texas is like "a whole other country" For awhile, it was. Prior to being annexed into the United States in 1845, the Republic of Texas stood on its own after successfully winning independence from Mexico a decade prior. After seceding from the Union and then re-joining it after the Civil War, Texas began its slow ascent to becoming a power center for the United States.

Wide open spaces, miles of blue sky by day and hundreds of stars by night. Texas is the only state in the Union which can be split into four separate regions, Texas is so big it'll make your head spin. From the deserts and mountainous range of West Texas, the hill country in central Texas, the Piney Woods of the northeast, to the bayou in the southeast, the Lone Star State is big and amazing on every level. It has several big metro areas (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin), but it's still down-home and country-styled in many ways.

Mixing old world traditions with new world ways, Texas is a place all its own. From the bats under the bridges in Austin to the King Ranch (bigger than the entire state of Rhode Island) Texas is more diverse than you think. While you're here, see what Tex-Mex food is or stop at any one of the countless BBQ places along to road to "somewhere". You won't be disappointed.

Among the glories of Texas is its music, which is as diverse and vital as the state and its people. In fact, some would say Texas is a world of it's own still today!

Our first night in Texas
posted by:
Apr 10, 2008 - May 16, 2008
We ended the day in Ozona, Texas, a small town about 210 miles west of San Antonio. We are at a Best Western again because the only other place in town looked so run down I was afraid to stay there. We asked about a place to eat and were told of a little place called The Café Next Door. It wasn’t very far from the hotel so we drove over to try it.  It wasn’t the best meal we have had on the trip. But we needed something and we were pretty tired. Back of the motel and wrote some b...

camping at Canyon Lake
posted by:
Jul 04, 2005 - May 06, 2008
We love to camp!  However theres only so many smores you can eat, and only so many camp songs you can take!  So, when we camp we look for places that have a lot to do or are nearby places where there is alot to do.  This is especially important with kids, otherwise you get to hear alot of "mom, I'm bored!"  We chose canyon lake because it was close to San Antonio and we planned our trip to visit the Natural Bridge Caverns and sea world.   We have...

Hill Country Ride Kick Off Party
posted by:
Jan 17, 2008 - Apr 26, 2008
After the Ride is over people usually head first for a shower, and then to one of two places:  either the massage tent where masseurs and masseuses are waiting to help rub those sore muscles and help make the aches go away; or to the pool created by Krause Springs.  The Springs are especially nice -- the water is clean and cool.  The pool is surrounded by huge cypress trees, so is well shaded.  There is a big waterfall into the pool, as well as rope swings from some of the...
