I kind of like the idea of a travel trailer, as that would allow us to "un-hitch" the pickup truck to drive to somewhere other than where we park the trailer to "camp out." But then, sometimes, I think it would be nice to have a big ol' motorhome! Now, one of the most famous manufacturers of

For those who don't or haven't lived here, you should come visit Texas...and see why so many agree: "Texas got it right!"

As Spring Break gets underway, the Texas Department of Transportation recently launched its month-long DWI Hangovers Don't Go Away campaign at a press conference on South Padre Island. Aimed at curbing drunk driving and fatalities among young adults and college students, the event was held at the Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark and Resort. A campaign street team then rode Segways up and down South P
