Where is a nice, cost effective place to take a weekend trip in Texas? |
Travel Info I want to take my special somebody for a weekend getawy that's within driving distance from Austin, TX...any thoughts? Travel Tips Comfort, Wimberley, Fredricksburg, Glen Rose Staying close to home: The Inn at Onion Creek A little further: Salado. Stay at The Stagecoach Inn and shop along main street. If it is THIS weekend, Stock Show is on in Ft. Worth, lots of things to do there, NHL All-Star Weekend is on in Dallas. Others Marriott Hotel.On Lafrontera The B&B's in Wimberly are nice. My wife loves going there. Fredricksburg is close to Austin and has some great shops. The Riverwalk in SanAntonio is a little further. If you're willing to drive a few hours, you can go to Dallas, there's plenty to do in Big D. i'd goto mexico eat all the pharmecuticals i can get my hands on then maybe catch a donkey show. weather permitting, Lost Maples State Park. Its better in the fall, though. Also , there used to be a little inn at the small town of Concan that was a nice hideaway. Anywhere in the hill country- Enchanted Rock near Llano is a good day trip too, but call ahead for availability. For a longer trip, I recommend Guadalupe Peak- you can camp at Pine Springs and climb the peak, or enjoy several other hikes of differing degrees of difficulty, again not a good idea until spring. San Antonio River walk is nice too. If your willing to drive about 200 miles ( dont know if you think that's too far for a weekend), may I suggest Galveston. It is one of the United State's loveliest islands. A perfect place for a romantic getaway; trams, the beach, lovely old buildings, tree-lined streets, quaint galleries and shops. It doesn't have to be very expensive, there is even a Motel 6 there (just before the bridge over to the island), clean and reasonably priced. This is a truly beautiful and special place. And from 9th to the 20th Feb the Galveston Mardi Gras is on. If you think it might be a possibility, I have included a couple of relevant links below: http://www.galveston.com/ http://www.motel6.com/reservations/motel... |
