These are the 10 Prettiest Small Towns in Texas for a Road Trip

I am always dreaming of taking road trips around Texas. Do you ever just find yourself staring out the window and wishing you could hop in the car and just drive away?

At the same time, I'm thankful we live in a state that offers so many diverse experience opportunities. Whatever you've got a "hankering" for, travel-wise, in many cases, you can find it in Texas.

One of my personal favorite road trip destinations is traveling to pretty Texas towns that offer a unique experience in a lovely setting, without necessarily having to brave a gazillion people once I get there.

If that's something to which you can relate, I've done a little research on some of the prettiest little towns in Texas. Let's take a quick photographic tour.
