Texas Travel
Here are some highlights of my travels to Texas:
Road Trips (PDFs)
Fort Worth a.k.a. Museums Road Trip 2024
I headed to Fort Worth, Texas to visit family. Although I didn't do any sightseeing in Fort Worth itself, I visited a number of sites on the drive out there and the drive back home, with special emphasis on museums. One of these museums was arguably the most unique museum I have come across so far in my travels.
Eastern United States Road Trip 2022
After the COVID pandemic kept my road trips mostly in the desert Southwest for the past two years, I set off on a 3 1/2 week road trip across the Southeast and then up the East Coast before heading west back to Las Vegas. Among my destinations were several newer National Park System units that I hadn't been to before, a number of Native American moundbuilder archaeological sites, American history sites from the settlement of Jamestown to the post-Civil War Reconstruction Era and a number of other sites.
Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico Road Trip 2022
After driving out to the Dallas area for a family event, I took a sightseeing trip on my way back home, with stops in downtown Dallas, along Route 66, and in the dinosaur country of northwest Oklahoma and northeast New Mexico, with a number of other stops thrown in, too.
Deep in the Heart of Texas Road Trip 2021
On my way back home from a visit to see my brother and his family in Texas, I visited a number of sites in the Texas Hill Country and west Texas. I also made repeat visits to a few sites as I crossed New Mexico.
Great Plains Road Trip 2021
Fully vaccinated for COVID-19 but sporting a medical boot for a broken bone in my foot, I set off on a road trip to Iowa to see family. On the drive out there and much moreso on the drive home, I checked out the scenery and a number of interesting stops in the Great Plains state.
Cross Country Relatives Road Trip 2019
On a cross-country road trip to see family, I checked out a mix of places that featured geology sites, archaeology sites, dinosaur sites, Republicans, nuclear missile sites, corny sites and the Jolly Green Giant.
Southern Road Trip and Long New Orleans Weekend 2019
I wanted to visit relatives in Fort Worth, Texas and make a return trip to New Orleans. So I flew to New Orleans, took a road trip that covered sites between the two cities, and capped the trip with a 4-night stay in the Big Easy.
New Mexico and Southwest Texas 2017
In September 2017 I took a 2-week road trip around New Mexico and southwest Texas as I headed to Fort Worth, Texas to visit family.
Cross Country Relatives Road Trip 2016
Here is a summary/photo set from the October 2016 cross-country road trip I took to visit relatives in Texas and the Midwest.
