When planning a road trip through Texas, you have an excess amount of options to explore due to the state’s vast size and diverse landscapes. We spend Christmas break and here are some suggested destinations and routes for an unforgettable road trip through the Lone Star State.
AUSTIN
We flew in and started the road trip in the state capital, known for its live music scene, vibrant culture, and outdoor activities. Visit the Texas State Capitol, explore the trendy neighborhoods, and enjoy the local cuisine.
WACO
Waco is a city in central Texas, located along the Brazos River and situated between Austin and Dallas. Waco was originally settled in 1849 and formally incorporated in 1856. The city played a significant role in the Texas Revolution and the Civil War. I have been wanted to visit ever since the Magnolia Market at the Silos was established, which is owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s Fixer Upper. Do yourself a favor and visit, spend the day in the grounds, and for God’s sake have her cupcakes. Enough said.
