Situated between Austin and Dallas in the heart of Texas, Waco is one of the Lone Star State’s charming smaller cities. Quirky local diversions range from Waco Mammoth National Monument and the Dr Pepper Museum to bustling Magnolia Market.

A true family destination, Westport boasts magnificent scenery, golf facilities, recreational fishing, sailing and yachting, beach swimming, hiking and cycling trails, and (to top it all off) a placed called Pirate Adventure Park. What kid wouldn't love this place? Visit in September and you'll witness the exciting Westport Arts Festival, perfect for all ages. And Westport was Google Earth's first fully 3D town, so you can relive the memories from your computer when you get home!
