Weekend Road Trip- Salado, Texas

If you are looking for a weekend escape from the city, Salado may be the place for you. Considered the "best art town in Texas", Salado is a two-hour drive south from Dallas down I-35. Quaint B&B's, cafes, and art galleries combined with the native landscape of Texas provides a tranquil respite for a romantic getaway or fun weekend with the girls. This unique Texas town provided the perfect backdrop for Jenna Bush's rehearsal dinner and bridal luncheon for her 2008 wedding to Henry Hager. If shopping is a must, a walking tour of Main Street reveals over 60 shops offering unusual gifts, books, antiques, home decor, and handcrafted jewelry shops.

Salado boasts many well- appointed bed and breakfast inns such as The Gazebo, The Inn at Salado, and Stonecreek Settlement. Many of these B&B's offer multi-room suites and cottages ideal for a girls getaway. The 27-hole, Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed, Mill Creek Golf Course will keep the guys busy while a trip to Serenity Spa will provide the perfect ending to a day of shopping.
