We rock the beer and barbecue in Texas, but when it comes to having the biggest draws for tourists, we're left completely off the "best of the best" list. We don't have Yosemite or Yellowstone, and the closest "best" tourist destination is about 1200 miles away. BUT, see why this may be a good thing.
On Father's Day weekend, one dad paid $900 for a full-page ad in a newspaper to find his son a wife. Without his consent! See which paper ran the ad, and could this craziness ever happen in Texas?
I found a handy little calculator that will help us plan the cost of a summer road trip across Idaho or beyond. It's gonna be cheaper than I thought it would be.

It's more than just, "Are we there yet?" That usually starts in the driveway, and there a dozen other comments and questions that can take the steam out of our Memorial Day Weekend road trips just as quickly. Here are some of the best zingers from the back seat that stress out parents.
Maybe you haven't hopped on board the gluten-free bandwagon yet, but if you love beer this might make you change your tune. We can find cereal, crackers, and chicken nuggets that are gluten-free now, and that little ingredient is getting the ax from beer in Texas too. But how does it taste?
