Rodeo:
If you are looking to see some of the biggest and most popular rodeos in Texas, then you want to come to the Fort Worth area in the early months of the year. These rodeos show are the perfect example of Texas's 3 R's ropin', ridin' and rodeoin'. These events were originally used for the ranch boss to test the skills of his employees. Now they are used to entertain folks from all over. Rodeos have become so popular some of the events can even be watched around the globe on Television.
Live the Experience:
For some people just watching a rodeo is not enough, some people need to get their hands dirty. For those people I recommend visiting a Dude Ranch. Some good ranches are just a nice place to go for a horse ride and each lunch of the chuck wagon, but some offer you the chance to spend a week n a working ranch and learning how to ride, rope and work as a cowboy, well everything except shooting a cattle rustler.
While the boys are off acting manly, here is a bit about the Shopping Texas has to offer.
As the old cliché goes "Everything is Bigger in Texas" this is true about their malls and Outlet centers. Texas offers you every big name store from Neiman Marcus to Sears and many small Mom and Pop shops that cater to all your gift needs.
Sand and Sun Equals Fun
Texas has over 500 miles of shore along the Gulf of Mexico offering its visitors year round beach weather in nice warm waters. Every day the beaches are groomed to make sure that your beach going experience is nothing short of spectacular. Besides year round life guards the beaches offer playgrounds for the kids and food stands with a wide variety of foods and snacks.
Many fine and inexpensive hotels and camping sites
With all the different terrain and beautiful weather that Texas has to offer many people enjoy camping out under the stars. If camping is not your thing then Texas also offers many fine and inexpensive Motels as well as many 5 star hotels and a wide variety in between.
