Are You Thinking About Those Weekend Getaways?

Are You Thinking About Those Weekend Getaways?

When we think of vacations we usually think that it requires one to two weeks off of work, extreme planning, costly expense, and days worth of packing. This does not have to be the case though. Many people take weekend vacations to different parts of Texas. It is very simple and convenient to go to a place that is located only four or five hours away from your home. For many of us, this means places like Galveston, Fredericksburg, or even casinos in Oklahoma and Louisiana. This is definitely doable in a two-day trip. These places are tourist attractions that offer nice weekend getaways from your mundane and monotonous week. Vacations are essential for clearing the mind and helping you cope with your day to day work life. We should not have to wait an entire year to be recharged by a mini vacation. Vacations can occur whenever you want. Granite, weekend getaways are not long lengthy vacations however they do provide us with the relief we need from our hectic weekly lives.

What’s the Best Weekend Vacation Place?

The best weekend vacation place depends on who you are and what you like to do. If you enjoy the beach as well as deep-sea fishing, Galveston may be the perfect place for you. If you enjoy hiking and camping in mountainous areas, then the Wichita mountains in Oklahoma may be the perfect we can get away. If you enjoy small historical towns that are rich in German ethnic culture with lots of shops and wonderful eateries, then Fredericksburg is a must-see. Another attraction is the state park in Monahans, Texas. Monahans provides you with a desert-like experience with its tall sand dunes that you can slide down. The Brazos River also provides a wonderful place for a weekend vacation especially if you are a fan of kayaking or canoeing as well as camping. All these places are great but can require equipment such as a camping or beach gear. You also have to consider if you have room in your current vehicle to accommodate family or friends.

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company has seen it all since Henry Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1902. From producing vehicles for the public to helping with military equipment, going through some rough times in the past, and to some financial problems. The company has proven to be a brand that plans on sticking around for a long time. Here are a few interesting facts that many have not worked out and some that we still see today. Ford Facts Ford was the first company to manufacture and sell cars. Their first model, the Model A, sold for $850 and only hit a max speed of 30 mph.  The Ford assembly line was devised after Henry Ford got the idea from a pig-slaughtering plant.  They offered better pay to their employees offering double the market average pay at $5 a day.  While the first Ford was sold in 1903 to Dr. Pfennig (Ford’s current CEO, Jim Hackett, owns it today), the iconic Ford logo was first introduced in 1907.  Many may not know that H...

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...
