“People don’t live in Austin to work, they work to live there.”
– Robert Rodriguez
When Robert Rodriguez said that about Austin Texas, he understood very well how much Austinites like to live in Austin. Once in Austin, nobody wants to leave!
So, what makes Austin such a popular and loved place?
Bandera Texas is called The Cowboy Capital of the World… and for a very good reason! It looks like a cowboy town!
Not a fake cowboy town with people wandering the streets wearing cowboy costumes…. No, Bandera Texas is the real deal!
There are many fun things to do in San Antonio Texas… from historic attractions all the way to fun water attractions. It is one of our favorite Texas vacation destinations.
It of course helps a lot that we live only about 100 miles away… 
So far, my family and I have visited the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Fiesta Texas (Six Flags), Sea World, and Splashtown. These are our FAVORITE things to do in San Antonio Texas – we’ve gone over and over!
If you don’t know much about San Antonio or Texas history, I can tell you that “San Antone” (as some locals call it) played a prominent part in Texas history.
You should find plenty of fun things to do in Port Aransas Texas! I know we did…
Let me tell you about our time in Port Aransas (or “Port A”, as the locals call it) and how much fun you can have there!
Our favorite things to do in Port Aransas start with the beach.
We also like dolphin cruises, to check out sandcastle building, ride jet skis, do parasailing, go fishing, and go kayaking.
You might not think there are many fun things to do in New Braunfels Texas since it is quite small.
However, my family and I were pleasantly surprised when we first visited New Braunfels.
New Braunfels has a rich German heritage, a famous water park, and tubing the Guadalupe river is great fun!
Our favorite things to do in New Braunfels are a visit to Schlitterbahn (water park) and tubing the Guadalupe river.
Looking for a few fun things to do in Houston Texas? Many people think of Houston as a city full of oil companies… oh, and NASA, but there are lots of other fun things to do in Houston too.
It’s a great destination for family fun!
I’ve already mentioned NASA, and I’m planning to tell you more about it, but what about other things to do in Houston?
I will tell you about other great Houston attractions, like Discovery Green Park, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Houston Zoo, and several more.
Here are our favorite…
Why would there be fun things to do in Galveston Texas? Well, it’s an island in the Gulf of Mexico, and that spells FUN!
Galveston has nice beaches, a theme park, a water park, a museum, a nice shopping area, several restaurants, and plenty of hotels.
I like it that most of the fun things to do in Galveston Texas are also located close to one another.
That means you don’t have to do endless driving to get from one thing to another.
Dallas is a big city, and to some it may seem difficult to find fun things to do in Dallas Texas… but they’re out there!
We have been there a few times and I want to tell you about the things to do in Dallas Texas that we have discovered! These include some fun attractions, like the Dallas Zoo, Southfork, the Dallas Aquarium, and more.
If you are planning a Dallas vacation, you will also need a few places to eat at, and a place to stay in, so I will tell you about a few great restaurants to try and few hotels to consider (including downtown hotels and Bed & Breakfasts).
Before I continue, when I say “Dallas”, I do mean the Dallas area and that will include other cities too. Now on too…
I’m guessing you’re planning to head to Corpus Christi for a few days, or are already there, and you’re looking for fun things to do in Corpus Christi.
Is Corpus Christi a boring place with nothing to do, or could you have a good time there?
The good news is that there are plenty of fun things to do in Corpus Christi and the surrounding area. We have been there a few times, and had a great time every time!
An added bonus with Corpus Christi is that it is fairly close to Port Aransas… you could pick a day to go there as well.
Our favorite Corpus Christi activities are a visit to the beach, fishing, a visit to the Aquarium and the USS Lexington, and a dolphin cruise. Here’s the scoop about them…
Without a doubt, South Padre Island Texas is one of our FAVORITE vacation destinations!
My family and I discovered this little tropical paradise a couple of summers ago. We have been hooked ever since!
Some of our favorite things to do in South Padre Island are the beaches, a visit to Schlitterbahn, and fishing.
If you’re wondering where South Padre Island is, follow the Texas coastline towards Mexico. It is a couple of miles off the coast just about on the border with Mexico. A bridge connects South Padre Island to Port Isabel on the mainland.
