Road trip, where to go?

Travel Info
im going on a road trip with a friend over winter break this year, any ideas on where to go would be great. We'll be starting from Dallas, Texas and we wont have a very high budge to work with, ideal locations would be great.

Travel Tips

Well now that we've got the high budget ideas out of the way, I would head south. Maybe hit the Hill Country like Fredericksburg, or Kerrville.
Head over to San Antonio, maybe go to Sea World or Six Flags, maybe see the Alamo.
Then I'd head over to the Coast to Corpus Christi, Padre Island, Port Aransas, Galveston.
Then you could head back home on 45 out of Houston. That would kill a week on a budget.

Others
Albuquerque, NM....or oh oh oh ! Denver, CO there should be a lot of awsome sights
California best place to go theres always something to do there.
Grand Canyon!
sedona AZ, Jerome AZ, grand canyon, Zion national park UT.
Go to California. See Los Angeles - especially the northernside of town - Burbank, Beverly Hills, San Fernando valley. They connect to Santa Monica Beach, and that has a nice boardwalk on past Venice Beach with lots of shops and eateries. Real nice part of town. Then, drive up past San Francisco. There are redwood forests up Hwy 101. The Avenue of the Redwoods is up there. Neat little towns with lots of flower children/ deadheads - Willits, Ukiah, etc... It's all quite an experience.

Stop off in Las Vegas along the way and play some slots and drink some beer. Go casino hopping. The cocktail waitresses sure look fine.
