For any who have personal experience with either of these two locations, do you have a recommendation for one or the other (or even both) as a place for three couples to spend about four or five days during our annual fall get together in October next. We've been meeting Spring and Fall for about 15 years just to spend a bit of time together visiting, catching up, eating good food, seeing local sights of interest, etc.
For the past few years, we've been finding and renting a vacation property (home or condo) with three full bedrooms and baths and plenty of room to sit together, visit, play games at times, and just hang out together. These places also had kitchen facilities so we could eat in when not eating out. We like museums of interest, including military focused ones, or any other interesting site to visit. We will usually look for a miniature golf course if one is available for one session, we will usually take a bit of time at a well appointed mall or shopping center where the girls shop for whatever and the guys will hunt up a gun, knife, or other outdoor type store. When available, the guys will spend a couple hours at a shooting range if we feel comfortable there.
These two cities are places that none of us have visitied in Texas so they rated a suggestion as possible places for our gathering this fall. If anyone has experience with either or both, since it's our turn to organize this gathering, I'd appreciate any comments, thoughts, suggestions, about either place that might help us to narrow our choices down to one, or even neither. Unusual request, I know, but I'll appreciate any information that anyone with experience is willing to share with me. Thanks very much. BTW, we will all be driving to where ever we decide to meet, so information about the ease of getting around and finding places of interest in these cities would also be appropriate. We are all mostly GPS compliant.
