Where To Go and What To Do?

I've been here over four months now and I still need to travel and get to know Texas!

I've heard so many good things about this state and I feel that it is time that I explore it.

Now, back home when I drove anywhere there were trees with all different colored leaves, sparkling snow, or the beautiful sunrise like you see in this picture on the left or the sunset on the right.
Last week I headed to Midland for a story and it was not at all like home on our way to Midland, but I was constantly amazed at the Wind Turbines and at the large acre farms.

Some would say there is no scenery at all but I love to appreciate every type, it doesn't have to be those trees with orange and red leaves, or the sparkling snow but the lands and farm land I saw on my way to Midland were pretty neat.

It's now time for me to explore other parts of Texas and see what this big beautiful state has to offer.

These are my confessions.

I love to travel but not sure where to go.
I know I can look on the web and find places to travel, but the best locations are places locals have been or traveled to, not a place where some "traveling expert" says it's great! Do you have any ideas?
