Anthony, TX

I've never been to Anthony, TX.

Having been incorporated in 1952, Anthony is considered one of Texas' newest towns. It is located at the Texas/New Mexico border, with its twin city of Anthony, NM just across the border. Anthony is a small town, but is a gateway to the whole state of Texas. Here you can find the travel information center leading you to anywhere you want to go in Texas. At the center you can speak with counselors who will help you find your desired destination, taking the route of your choice, be it the most direct or the most scenic.

There is also a water park located on I-10 near the travel center. Here you can find water slides, a lazy river, BBQ restaurant and a picnic area.

Anthony has also become the Leap Year Capital of the World. It operates the Worldwide Leap Year Birthday Club.

Congress Street Bridge, Austin, TX

I've never been to the Congress Street Bridge in Austin, TX.

There each evening at sunset during the spring and summer, you can see close to one million bats in flight. They leave their beloved home, the Congress Street Bridge, to fly out in search of food. I have seen a bat flight similar to this out near Johnson City, TX, so I know that this can be an amazing sight to see. These bats can eat from 10,000-30,000 pounds of insects.

Some tips for viewing this event are: arrive early, bring a blanket and perhaps an umbrella (no, not for rain...), don't touch any bats. If you are driving through at this time, please take caution. Late summer is one of the best times to catch the viewing of this sight.

Forbidden Gardens: Katy, TX

I've never been to the Forbidden Gardens, in Katy, Tx.

Just outside Houston, TX, you can find a replication of the famous Forbidden City and its Terra Cotta soldiers. This outdoor musuem educates visitors on Chinese history, allowing them to view a 1:20 scale replica of the Forbidden City. You can see thousands of detailed miniatures of the palaces. There is also a weapons room and an architecture room. Most fantastic is the recreation of the 6,000 1/3 scale terra cotta army.

Brock, TX

I've never been to Brock, TX.

I am not sure there is really much to see there. I've heard there is a great hamburger stand, that I believe doubles as a donut shop in the AM. If I am correct, there is a post office, a photographer and a library. I am guessing there is a grocery store as well.

But the real reason to go to Brock, TX would be to see our wonderful friends who moved there recently. They seem to be living in a wonderful place, filled with new adventures for them. Their boys are growing up in a happy, healthy environment. Maybe one day we will head that way to check out the town of Brock, TX.

Fanthorp Inn

I've never been to Fanthorp Inn .

It is located in Anderson, Texas and has become a National Park Historic Site. It is a home built in the 1850's and was used as a traveler's and stagecoach stop. The house is now open for tours and you can even take a ride on the stagecoach. You can listen to cowboy poetry and the music of dulcimers. This historic inn will give you a real glimpse into the life on the Texas frontier.
