Every Texan enjoys exploring new places outside our state's borders. However, there comes a point during a trip or vacation that we start to miss our roots. This blog is all about how you can take the great state of Texas with you wherever you go!

Decorations

Adding Texas-themed decorations throughout your motorhome is the perfect way to remind yourself of your hometown roots. Consider Texas-themed photo frames for family pictures, a Texas throw pillow and Texas blanket for the living area, and a Texas floor mat for the bathroom or kitchen. Little touches of home go a long way on the road!

Texas Music

Texas tends to leave a mark on people, which is why there are so many great songs written about this great state. Here are some Texas tunes that are bound to fix your homesick blues:

• George Strait — "All My Ex's Live in Texas" and "Amarillo by Morning" are crowd favorites from the king of country music.
• Alabama — "If You're Gonna Play in Texas" (1984) will make everyone want a fiddle in their band.
• Lyle Lovett — Perfect for reminding friends and family that the door to Texas is always open.
• "She's Like Texas" — A crowd pleaser that will help you remember the beautiful trees of Nacogdoches!

Texas Food

Southern cooking is an all-time favorite no matter what time zone you are in. Bring the taste and smells of Texas into your motorhome's kitchen with these recipes:

• Chicken Fried Steak — If it's on the menu, you know everyone will want to be there.
• Green Beans and Potatoes — The perfect side dish for chicken fried steak.
• Sweet Tea — A whole lot of sugar and a drop of lemon — home in a cup for every Texan.

Texas Apparel

The best way to take Texas with you is to wear her on your sleeve! Start with a fashionable pair of Texas flag boots. Pair them with denim jeans and a t-shirt showing off your favorite Texas team. Add a Texas necklace for the ladies or a Texas belt buckle for the gents. You might get a lot of looks, but you will certainly make the eyes of Texas shine brightly upon you.

I hope this blog gave you some ideas on how to bring Texas along for the ride. After all, you can take us out of Texas but you can't take the Texan out of us! Don't forget to follow us on social media and use the hashtag #OnTheMoveWithMOT. Happy travels!
