Wherever We Land

Hitting the Road

So, I decided to embark on a road trip from the charming hills of North Carolina to the vast plains of Texas, with Houston and Dallas as my final destinations. The allure of the Lone Star State, its vibrant cities, and its rich history was simply too much to resist.

A Scenic Detour: Nashville, Tennessee

Before hitting the open road towards Texas, I couldn’t resist a quick detour to Nashville. Music City lived up to its reputation. I spent my time wandering through the Grand Ole Opry, exploring the Country Music Hall of Fame, and enjoying live music at honky-tonks on Broadway.

Crossing the Mississippi: Memphis, Tennessee

Continuing my journey, I crossed the mighty Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee. This iconic city was a must-visit. I paid my respects at Graceland, Elvis Presley’s former home, and indulged in some authentic barbecue at a local joint.

Into the Heart of Texas: Little Rock, Arkansas

As I ventured deeper into the South, Little Rock, Arkansas, became my next stop. I spent my time exploring the Clinton Presidential Center, visiting the Arkansas Museum of Discovery, and enjoying a leisurely stroll through MacArthur Park.

A Texan Welcome: Dallas

Finally, I arrived in Dallas, the bustling metropolis of Texas. I spent my days exploring the city’s vibrant downtown, visiting the Dallas Museum of Art, and taking a ride on the Dallas SkyWheel. For a taste of history, I toured the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, commemorating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Houston: A City of Energy and Culture

My final stop was Houston, a city known for its diverse culture, thriving arts scene, and vibrant food scene. I visited the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, explored the Space Center Houston, and took a stroll through the Hermann Park Conservatory.

The Return Journey

After soaking up all that Texas had to offer, it was time to head back home. The drive back was filled with memories of the incredible sights and experiences I had encountered along the way. My road trip to Texas was an unforgettable adventure that I’ll cherish for years to come.
