Make Your Weekends Count in These 17 Cities in Florida, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Texas!


Every year, my family attends the Dallas Travel and Adventure Show. It is one of the highlights of the beginning of the year for us. We pick up dozens and dozens of brochures to help up figure out which destinations to explore and which ones to avoid. 





So we made up a game to lay all of the brochures out on the couches in our living room to determine which ones to visit and write about this year. My husband selected eight cities and I selected nine cities. Now, we are ready to get to work!


Here's the my list for this year:

Cleburne, Texas
Corpus Christi, Texas
Henderson, Texas
Huntsville, Texas
Jefferson, Texas (Marion County, Texas)
Marshall, Texas
Mineola, Texas
Martin Creek State Park (Henderson, Texas and Tatum, Texas)
Nacogdoches, Texas


Here's my husband's list for this year:

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Granbury, Texas
Houston, Texas
Louisiana State Parks
Pensacola, Florida
Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Tyler, Texas



Which one should we visit first? What should we see while we are there?

Sincerely,

The Weekends Count Family
