This past weekend we visited West Texas. Personally I have never been to West Texas and it was a very beautiful place. There were many mountains like the one above. Very beautiful and different in their own way. Definitely not like the woods and trees of East Texas!
We stayed in Marfa at El Cosmico. The owner of El Cosmico has many hotels throughout Texas and had worked with Lake Flato. We were able to stay for free, thanks Lake Flato! While in Marfa we ate at a great place called Maiyas http://www.maiyasrestaurant.com/index.html We also visited the Chinati Foundation and toured art installations done by Donald Judd.

The picture above is Independence Creek. We were driving through the desert on Sunday morning and did not see another car for over an hour and a half! Along the way we came across this desert oasis. It was beautiful! While on the trip we also stopped at a few forts and read many historical markers. Steve, Scarlett's husband should have been with us!

Saturday night we visited the McDonald Observatory in Fort Davis and took part in a Star Party. The stars were amazing that night and we were able to look through telescopes and see the moon, Jupiter and many other things. It was a little chilly but we had many blankets, coats and gloves! On the way to the Star Party we stopped off in Fort Davis to watch the beginning of the Aggie game, WAY TO GO AGS!
If you ever get a chance to visit West Texas you should...
