Dallas to San Francisco: roadtrip from Dallas to San Francisco
A lot probably depends on how many days you have for the trip. Hopefully you aren't in a rush, and you can take lots of detours. If that's the case, I think you have a lot of options in Arizona and California. I'm guessing you'll start the trip faster since... See More
Houston: Is NASA worth seeing?
Definitely not a tourist trap—this place is the real deal. It’s a pretty amazing place for both kids and adults which is hard to find when you’re traveling. A half a day or so is probably enough so you can see something else the same day. See More
