Texas does everything big—giant fire hydrants, oversized roadrunners, and an Eiffel Tower with a cowboy hat. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
