Up for a festive holiday road trip? This Southern Living article, “The Twinkliest Drive in Texas,” features stops in Johnson City, Comfort, Fredericksburg, Boerne, and San Antonio: http://www.southernliving.com/travel/south-west/christmas-lights-road-trip-00417000079905/

What would be on the itinerary for your Texas Hill Country holiday road trip? Ours might include the trail of lights in Wimberley or Marble Falls, and we’d surely swing by the soon-to-be restored Comal County Courthouse in New Braunfels (pictured). San Antonio is all alight this time of year, but we would definitely not miss our Casa Navarro State Historic Site—which, by the way, you can vote for in San Antonio’s Light Up Downtown contest: http://lightupdowntownsa.com/vote.php?participant=72.

Pictured: The scaffolding is down at New Braunfels’ Comal County Courthouse, and the lights are up—despite being in the final stages of construction. A participant in our Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program, the 1898 Romanesque Revival-style courthouse will be rededicated early next year.
