As the saying goes, "Life is too short not to live it in Texas."

March edition of Texas Monthly asked the question, if you had one year left on earth, what should every Texan do before they die?

I searched for this article EVERYWHERE online and finally found it.

I thought how cool would this be to actually load up the family and meet other family members at some of these places and start scratching these off. We have lived in Texas practically our entire lives and I bet we haven't been to a quarter of these places!!!
