Eat at Whataburger enough times to try everything on the menu.
If you leave Texas without going to Whataburger once, you have not only failed as a tourist, you have failed as a human being.
While you're in Dallas, check out the Dealey Plaza historic district. That's the place Kennedy got shot, probably the thing Dallas is most famous for so you can do that, watch the Spurs win, leave town and you're done with Dallas. Yay!
On the way to San Antonio, stop in Austin and I can give you a detailed list of locations used in the film "Dazed and Confused." If not just keep on driving. Austin's a cool place but the people here think Austin is like a super bad ass city but that's just because it leans to the left while the rest of the state leans to the right, and everyone here has a dog, likes music and smokes weed. People think this is unique to Austin. It isn't.
I grew up in San Antonio and constantly tell people who ask me if I liked it there that I didn't because the only thing to do is go to Spurs games. Maybe it's changed in eight years. I've gone back on business a few times and the north side has blown the up with new neighborhoods and strip malls but that's about it. Go to the Alamo if you're feeling particularly touristy. Bottom line is you're in town for the Spurs. Get lower level seats. Arrive early. Watch them warm-up. Pretty much everyone but that got Duncan will sign autographs. Take in the AT&T Center. That's what you're here for. Don't get distracted by wack ass San Antonio.
