Fun Fact: My husband, Jeff and I are Texas backroads enthusiasts. Whenever we get a chance and a clear sky, we hit the road in our two-seater convertible to find hidden treasures off the beaten path. We rarely have a final destination in mind but rather allow the path to unfold. Some of our favorite discoveries have been the bizarre Cartoon Saloon, bluebonnets at Smithwick Cemetery, hiking across suspension Regency Bridge, views from Willow City Loop, riding the Twisted Sisters, and feeding the peacocks at the Garven Store.
