Texas is a state where size meets story from high plains to coastal shores, every region brings something distinct to the table. In San Antonio, visitors can walk through centuries of layered history starting at the Alamo, a site of one of the most famous battles in the state’s fight for independence. The nearby San Antonio Missions, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a deeper look into the Spanish colonial influence that shaped the region.

Kennebunkport is a small coastal town with a long maritime history and a character all its own. Originally settled in the 1600s, it grew as a shipbuilding center before becoming a quiet summer escape. Today, its working waterfront meets charming streets lined with boutiques, historic homes, and small galleries. Dock Square, the town’s walkable heart, is where visitors can browse local crafts, sample Maine-made ice cream, or pick up a hand-carved wooden buoy as a souvenir.
