| Texas is a state located in the South Central United States, nicknamed the Lone Star
State. Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, spanning
268,820 square miles (696,200 km2), and with a growing population of 24.3 million
residents. Houston is its largest city and the fourth-largest in the United States, while
the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area (also called the Metroplex) is the largest
metropolitan area in the state and the fourth-largest in the nation. Other major cities
include San Antonio and Austin, the capital. In a state this big and diverse, you'll find
everything you'd expect from a Texas vacation. And a whole lot more you didn't. . A great
way to visit Texas is to stay at a B&B, country inn, historic hotel, Bed and Breakfast
or guest ranch. |
| Visit The Alamo in San Antonio to discover relics and mementos from the fall of the
Republic of Texas. For the outdoor enthusiast, Texas is home to expansive city and state
parks for fishing, hunting and boating with many B&B's and Inns. Within just 100 miles
of Dallas/Fort Worth there are 60 lakes, 50,000 acres of parks and 200 golf courses!
Sports fans to Texas can catch a college football game between rivals University of Texas
and Texas A & M or watch the Dallas Cowboys battle their NFL foes and stay at a bed
and breakfast. If a day at the ballpark is more your style, the Texas Rangers make their
home in Arlington with a state of the art facility. And there is always a Texas bed &
breakfast for the weary fan at the end of the day. From a resort in Galveston to a Texas
bed breakfast in El Paso, from Amarillo to South Padre Island, there's plenty to keep you
busy in the Lone Star State. |
