The Perfect Texas Road Trip

Summer is a time for vacations and adventures. Here in Texas, we have access to so many destinations, that we want to hit all of them! Here is our suggestion for putting together the ultimate Texas road trip.

Slovacek’s

Start your road trip out on the right foot by eating a tasty snack. Located in West, Texas, Slovacek’s is home to the most famous kolaches and summer sausage in Texas. Stop here to stretch your legs and enjoy the Czech pastry, filled with delicious local fruit, cream cheese and Texas pecans.

Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

Have you driven through the beautiful Texas countryside and seen beautiful wildflowers littering the sides of the road? You have Lady Bird Johnson to thank for that. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s wife set in motion The Beautification Act of 1965, which called for control of outdoor advertising, and that trucks drove across Texas highways, spewing loads of wildflower seeds along the road to beautify the highways. Now, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, located in Austin, Texas conducts innovative plant research, develops educational materials and consults on landscape development projects all over the state. Tour the grounds and learn all about the many wildflowers of Texas.

Odessa Meteor Crater

Did you know the second largest crater caused by a meteor in the United States is right in your own backyard in Odessa, Texas? It is! Measuring about 550 feet in diameter, this is one void you’ll want to scream into.

Marfa Lights

Since the early 19th century, ranchers, apaches, high school sweethearts and famous meteorologists alike have reported seeing sourceless lights dance on the horizon southeast of Marfa, Texas, in an uninhabited area that is extremely difficult to traverse. Sometimes these mystery lights are red, sometimes blue, sometimes white, and they often appear randomly throughout the night. A phenomenon to behold!

Here at Service Uniform, we love going on adventures. These are just a few of our favorite Texas spots to include on our ultimate road trip. Let us know where your favorite Colorado road trip spots are on Facebook!
