My niece LOVED her macaroni and cheese. Overall it was okay, we should have stuck with our original choice of restaurant and gone to the Reata.

A visit to Marfa isn't complete without passing a few hours (or the day) sipping on the wine at…read moreChateau Wright Winery. I've visited the winery twice now and it's a permanent stop on the itinerary I plan to Marfa. If you're a red wine drinker - you're in luck - as yummy reds are the bulk of the varieties you can enjoy. I recommend doing a tasting to fully enjoy - especially if it's your first time visiting. Plus - if you end up purchasing a bottle, the tasting fee is waved. While the property itself is still a bit in progress (they were putting the finishing touches on an AirBnB section the last time I visited, it's more about the wine and the views, right? And there's no better way to pass your day than by enjoying a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains as you gaze out over the grape vines. The staff is ALWAYS super friendly, if you're lucky you'll spot one of the roaming pets on the property, AND there's a really awesome food truck on site (Too Hot for TABC). If you find yourself in the area, don't pass up a visit to Chateau Wright Winery.

You will be sitting for the first part on stone benches, but chairs are available by the visitors center (not in the Star party space). The location is gorgeous, and I recommend bringing a flashlight (red lens if possible to prevent light pollution) because the parking lot is pitch black at night. Fill your gas tank before you head out there because fueling options are limited, and dont plan on eating after the party unless you want to drive an hour. The location is necessarily remote to maximize the sky view, which makes it gorgeous at night. I'll upgrade my photo-gear before going back, because the opportunities for Star pics are endless!

It appears to have settled into a more predictable groove. Of course, the reason for this town's fame is Donald Judd's Chinati Foundation. I do my infrequent pilgrimage to Chinati for one reason: to see his '100 untitled works in mill aluminum.' I like choosing the open viewing versus the guided tour option because it gives me time to walk among the aluminum blocks undisturbed in relative silence with no time limit. The sun's angle hit different pieces producing different angles of contrast and shimmer. Being in these two buildings is like standing in a mash up of a cathedral and an after-hours machine shop. So many get frustrated with Donald Judd's work. They place demands on what it all means and they walk out dismissively when enlightenment doesn't happen. I toss out my brain and my thoughts. I don't come here to figure anything out. I walk the aisles and just breathe it all in. It's soothing and gratifying; part of the spiritual reset that Chinati and Marfa can do. P.S. Chinati still doesn't allow photography inside their buildings or galleries. I visited once when a rare exception was made. Almost every other art institution in North America allows non-flash photography. It's time for Chinati to allow for the same.

This isn't just some dressed-up attraction, it's a genuine working ranch that blends hospitality with a healthy dose of outdoor adventure. I brought my daughter and her friend along so they could experience what it's like to saddle up proper, just like I did as a kid. There's nothing quite like learning to mount, settle into the rhythm, and take the reins of a horse that's got a mind and personality of its own. Set just outside Fort Davis, the ranch sits on land that's nothing short of breathtaking with wide-open spaces, mountain views, and that quiet kind of stillness you only find out in the country. From check-in to hitting the trail, the staff were as knowledgeable as they were Texas-friendly, the kind of folks who make you feel welcome before you even swing into the saddle. And the horses? Fine animals, well cared for, even-tempered, and each with their own quirks. Mine, for instance, had a habit of moseying toward every patch of snack-worthy greenery along the trail... felt a bit like looking in a mirror at a buffet line. With a soft spring breeze rolling through, the ride felt easy and peaceful, the kind that makes you slow down and take it all in. Though we didn't stay overnight, it was clear plenty of families had settled in for Spring Break, and the main house was serving up hearty, satisfying grub that smelled as good as it looked. Even in a short visit, Prude Ranch delivered a true taste of ranch life that is unpretentious, scenic, and just the right amount of cowboy charm to leave you grinning long after you've ridden off into the sunset.
