Celebrate springtime in Texas' Oldest Town
 The twelfth annual Nacogdoches Azalea Trail will usher in springtime in East Texas March 13-April 3 with a mixed bouquet of new events and mainstay favorites.
As always, the centerpiece of the Azalea Trail will be the more than 20 miles of self-guided driving routes that meander through the city and include the stunning Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden--the largest in the state of Texas.
Each trail begins at the Visitor Center, located at 200 E. Main St. in historic downtown Nacogdoches. Color-coded signs mark the routes, and maps are available at the Visitor Center. Nacogdoches, 'The Oldest Town in Texas,' is located about 150 miles north of Houston via U.S. Hwy. 59.
Every weekend of the Azalea Trail will also feature at least one special event, including a plant sale, floral design exhibit, photography show, symposium and everyone's favorite, the 'Little Princess' garden party

 Reprinted from the Dallas Morning News - Author Mary G. Ramos
This April getaway starts in Mesquite, then works its way east on U.S. Highway 80 for 392 miles to Jackson, Miss.
The U.S. Highway 80 Yard Sale is like a moving yard and garage sale, but you're the one doing the moving. You drive east as far as you like on U.S. Highway 80, stopping when you spot a vendor's sign, then work your way back.
The vendors are individuals, shops, churches and civic clubs selling everything you'd find at most yard or garage sales: furniture, tools, dishes, books, glassware, arts and crafts, junk, even boats and cars-you name it.
If you miss the one the third weekend in April, there's another one Oct. 15-17.
