🇺🇸 Is Texas Worth Visiting? NASA + 3-Day Trip Guide 🚀🌵

Here’s a relaxed yet fun-filled 3-day Texas itinerary focusing on Houston and San Antonio — perfect for those who love space, nature, and food! Day 1: Houston Arrival & City Highlights 🚗 Picked up rental car at Houston Airport (Thrifty on lowest level — super convenient!). 🏀 Visited Toyota Center (home of the Rockets — paid tribute to Yao Ming’s legacy!). 💦 Waterwall Park: Nice for photos, but just a water wall. The surrounding skyscrapers felt more lively! 🌳 Hermann Park: Winter visit = less greenery, but still a peaceful walk. 🍲 Dinner: Liu Yi Shou Hot Pot in Chinatown — highly recommended! 👍 🛌 Stayed at a cozy Airbnb near Chinatown (a converted garage — surprisingly comfy!). Day 2: NASA + Drive to San Antonio 🚀 NASA Space Center Houston: 1️⃣ Training Facility Tour (booked at front desk — saw astronaut training areas!). 2️⃣ Apollo Mission Control Tour (separate ticket — incredible historical experience!). 3️⃣ Rocket Park (Saturn V rocket + shuttle exhibit + Boeing 905 plane tour). 🚗 Drove to San Antonio (3 hours). 🌊 River Walk: Evening stroll felt like Europe — lively with lights, music, and drinks! ⛪ San Fernando Cathedral: Night light show was magical! 🏛️ Admired Spanish architecture downtown. 🍖 Dinner: Texas de Brazil (all-you-can-eat Brazilian BBQ — meat heaven!). 🏨 Stayed at Hampton Inn Downtown. Day 3: San Antonio History & Nature 🏰 The Alamo: Iconic Spanish mission — rich history! ⛪ Mission San Jose: Former Native American market/village + church — humbling glimpse into collective past. 🦇 Natural Bridge Caverns: Took the Discovery Tour (1 hour with guided explanations). Mind-blowing underground formations + 5,000-year-old bat poop! 😂 ✅ Final Verdict: Texas is 100% worth it! From space wonders at NASA to historic missions and natural caves, it’s a mix of education, adventure, and good food. 🎉 #TexasTravel #VisitHouston #SanAntonio #NASASpaceCenter #RoadTrip #TravelUSA #TexasFood
