    Oh, one more thing, there is a wildlife preserve right outside of Johnson City on 281, close to the Texas Wine country, while that is sort of cool, what is cool is they have a very nice B&B on site.

    Link to the preserve

    Click on the Safari Cabin button for the B&B....

    Lots of good B&B's down in that area, but that is one off the beaten path.

    Also, Lost Creek Vineyard is just up the road, take 281 north and left on 71 about 10 miles and right on 2233 and you will see the vineyard and restaraunt and B&B.

    The restaraunt is amazing

    They have the original bar from Dodge City.....and have dug actual bullets out of it from Wyatt Earp, I think.

    very cool.

    Link doesn't work. You probably have to be on your facebook friends list in order to see it.

    Well after all of the drama in the GARM lately, I'm asking finalsbound to go with me. :eek: ;)

    Kidding aside, I'm liking the Blair House Inn. I can actually take her shopping in San Marcos too after.

    All the Hershey kisses i could ever want.





    They were remodeling Spindletop.

    If you're going to go to the Hyatt, might as well go to Shulas?

    I just threw up in my mouth a little.


    My wife and I are looking to make a trip to 1 of 3 places in early Dec...

    New Orleans (both have been, but not together)
    Vegas (been once with her, but we didn't leave the casino)
    Memphis (neither of us has ever been)

    Anyone know what there is to do in Memphis other than Beale st?

    Dude, you DO NOT want to go to San Marcos and shop.....that is just one big old shopping mall outside....

    Fredricksburgh is much more eclectic.....
