Among the things to do in Fort Worth Texas are a few fun things that truly bring the “Texas experience”.
For this reason my family and I especially like to take our out-of-state visitors on a trip to Fort Worth.
Our favorite Fort Worth attractions are the Fort Worth Stockyards, Billy Bob’s (a honky tonk bar), the Fort Worth Zoo, and Sundance Square.
Here’s more about them…
My family and I love going to the Fort Worth Stockyards!
Our first visit to the Stock Yards was in 2001 when we took my parents there who were visiting from out of state. They still speak of that great day!
Since then, we have been back to the Fort Worth Stockyards several times.
Most recently, we took visitors from England to experience a bit of the “old West”.
El Paso Texas is a city of borders… On its western side it borders with Mexico, and on its northern side it borders with New Mexico.
El Paso is also a city from the old West and has made numerous appearances in Western movies.
Because of its colorful background, I think El Paso Texas is a very interesting city to visit.
Here are some of our favorite…
When visiting El Paso, you are likely to get hungry and look for El Paso restaurants.
Here is a guide to a few good restaurants in El Paso, TX.
Considering that El Paso is in West Texas and located right on the Mexican border, you can expect at least two types of restaurants… Steakhouses and Mexican restaurants!
I will however show you some other options too.
Need a few good El Paso hotels to consider for your vacation?
Unless you have family in El Paso to stay with, you will be looking for hotels at some point during planning your vacation.
There are several hotels in El Paso to choose from. I have filtered that list down to a few hotels that are located near attractions or restaurants.
Here they are…
With so many Dallas restaurants to choose from, how do you know which restaurants give good food at a good price?
When we travel with our kids, I know we’re going to be spending money on hotels and attractions, so it helps a lot to avoid super-fancy restaurants because I’d rather eat a little cheaper and spend more on fun.
Besides, most kids are happy with a good hamburger.
At times though, it is of course very nice if mom & dad can have a decent steak or pasta, etc.
So I try to pick Dallas restaurants that give good food, but won’t break the bank.
Here are a few of our favorites…
Thinking about staying in a Dallas BedAndBreakfast? That’s a great idea if you are looking for a different lodging experience to a hotel.
B&Bs often have a special ambiance that is hard to come by at a hotel.
In my opinion, a Bed & Breakfast is more ideally suited to couples wanting a quiet, romantic getaway without the kids.
I found that there aren’t near as many Bed & Breakfasts around as there are hotels, so it is a little harder to find a good B&B that offers good value.
However, they are out there…

Do you also think Austin is only about UT, Longhorns, and state government? Some of those who haven’t been to Austin might think so. But you know what… there are a bunch of fun things to do in Austin Texas! With an active music scene and big events like Austin City Limits and Rodeo Austin, Austin … Read more
Finding a good bed and breakfast in Austin is not very difficult at all.
There are more than twenty bed and breakfasts in Austin and several of them provide a great stay.
Bed and Breakfasts are often more expensive than hotels, but in return, most of them offer something special that you are unlikely to get at hotels.
Nevertheless, to keep it affordable, I have picked some reasonably-priced bed and breakfasts that are also highly-rated.
Here are four of my favorite Austin Bed and Breakfasts…
The Battle of the Alamo is the event where many men fought bravely against overwhelming odds and died for their freedom!
The Alamo is where Texas liberty was born!
Because of this distinction, I can’t help but feel a sense of respect when my family and I visit the Alamo.
This is one historical site that we love to visit!
