Only on a Texas Road Trip

On our way to and from Red Oak we saw some fun things along the way.

West, Texas, an awesome Czech bakery. The line was out the doors, the bakery items are mouth-watering. This little store is probably the biggest thing in West, even the Dairy Queen next door is closed.

Italy, Texas,I think the biggest thing in this tiny town are the truck stops and the Shell convenience store on the opposite side of the interstate from the truck stop. This store has a Sonic and Bar-B-Q store inside along with a store full of Texas items for sale. Sunday this country band was playing and people were sitting on benches and standing outside their cars, tapping their feet while filling with gas. What a fun idea and great break in your drive.

This strange looking Catapillar stretches along I35. He is painted with boots and green grass. We wanted to see what was behind this Catapillar. There is a community called Dome Park, that has 15-20 very tiny dome shaped houses, that people live in or you can rent for a weekend getaway.Unique in design and certainly a change from your normal motels.

The spaceship was once a game store but now closed. It still attracts lots of glances when you pass by on IH 35. People were walking around this spaceship snapping pictures.

I love finding these odd and unique things along our road trips.
