The Texas Tourist

Home

Welcome to my site on Texas.

I've wondered Interstates 10, 20, 30, and 40 through Texas. I've visited meteor impact craters, parks, and small towns throughout the state.

A special favorite is Bonham City Lake. Sand boarding at Monahans Sandhills State Park is a unique experience. There are hundreds of other parks, plus special attractions and towns.

You'll remember San Antonio for more than the Alamo, watch from the grassy knoll in Dallas, and croon with the stars in Austin.

Welcome, have fun, and we'll see you again.

For now, feel free to use our guides to lodging around the state of Texas.

In the mean time, you're welcome to stop by our other state sites,
