3 Reasons You Should Choose Texas over California for Your Next Vacation

1. Tex-Mex.

There’s Mexican and food and then there’s Tex-Mex, a special hybrid that leaves California in the dust. You’ve never heard of Cal-Mex, have you? There is a reason for that.

Tex-Mex developed because the state has been under so many flags: Mexico, United States, Canada and more.

That’s right, Texas was once part of Canada for a short time in the 1700s. Tex-Can food was very popular at that time - crazy combinations like Moose Tacos, Beaver Burritos and the ever popular Molson Margaritas. It didn’t last, but Tex-Mex powers on in the Lone Star State.

2. High School Football

California has a few good teams, but high school football is clearly better in Texas. The reason is small town high schools have nothing else going on. What are you going to do on a Friday night in Lonesome Glove, Texas?

Players are taught how to throw a football at the age of six months, get their first helmet and pads at two years old and are playing full tackle games at three years old. Consider this: in 2015, the Dallas Cowboys offered a contract to a five-year-old with a win-loss record of 215–1.

He lost ONE game, and that was only because he was running for touchdown on a quarterback sneak and saw his mom on the sidelines and ran over to ask if they could go to Six Flags Over Texas amusement park that summer.

3. Natural Beauty

Sure, California has some tall trees and a few beaches here and there. But you can barely see the stars at night because of all the air pollution oozing from Los Angeles and clogging up the state’s skies.

On the other hand, Texas skies are so clear at night you feel you can reach out and touch them. In 2013, one guy actually did reach out and touch a star, grabbed it and pulled himself into the sky where he looked down on the state of Texas and smiled. Later, it was discovered he had too many Orange Fantas and hallucinated the whole thing.
