| Description. We live in a
comfortable three bedroom 2 1/2 bath home in a suburban neighborhood with
very good neighbors, large lawn, with lots and lots of trees. The
spring or fall is a good time to visit as it gets warm and humid in the
summer, but it never gets really cold in the winter. We are eight miles from Beaumont, Texas, home of Lamar University. We are less than two hours from busy Houston, which offers, professional sports, theme parks, etc. Historic Galveston, also a day trip, will give you excellent seafood (of course it is just caught), historic Victorian homes and beautiful beaches. We are only thirty miles from the Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful beaches of Sabine Pass where a Civil War battle was fought when the Union Army came to capture Texas through the Gulf of Mexico. Another day trip would be to the Alabama Coushatta Indian Reservation. The tours of the reservation will not only be interesting but will provide you with the knowledge of the Indian culture and history. Louisiana state is a short thirty minutes. Just across the border you will find class "A" horse racing, casino gambling, fantastic French Cajun food, and Cajun history and culture. Port Arthur, Texas is only fifteen miles away and also offers French Cajun food, Cajun culture and deep sea fishing. It is the home of the late famous rock singer, Janis Joplin, the former Dallas Football coach Jimmy Johnson and one of the original singing Cowboys, Tex Ritter. This area is known for its many museums and it is advertised as the museum capital of the world. Nacogdoches is a short distance and is one of the oldest cities in the nation with lots of antique shopping, the tallest pine trees and women in Texas. Austin (state capital), San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth and Mexico are all only a short five hours drive. The closest airport is Jefferson County in Beaumont. Houston is the closest International airport and it is a very short drive. We, Wesley and Pat, always travel to Houston when we fly any distance. We would like to offer you a chance to visit Beautiful East Texas and the Lone Star State of Texas. No smoking. No pets. Possible car exchange. |
