Things to see & do in Texas?

[rawhide]

Texas is a big state with much to do and see, but I'd like to hear some OSA recommendations for things to do and see during upcoming trip to the Lone Star state.

Let me narrow it down a little. Heading down hwy 75 to Cypress, TX to visit my brother where we will stay about 2 days. The wife and I would like to take a short vacation to see sights we, or at least me, haven't seen before. I've been to Cypress/Houston 3 times in the last year so I'm looking for things not in Houston. We've discussed heading toward San Antonio when we leave Cypress.
Let me hear your recommendations for the trip to or trip home. Thanks

Austin, despite its liberal government and populace, is actually a beautiful town (at least for the time being). There is also the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco.

The Perot Museum in Dallas is pretty good if you have never been.

LBJ Presidential library, Austin Aquarium, Fry's Electronics (if you like electronics, think of what Circuit City was like, but more on the scale of Sams in size with much better prices). Close to the University of suck, aka University of Texas, they have a lot of nice eatery places plus lots of arts stuff. We've also been to the Austin English Tea Company, they have really good pastries and tea.

In and out burger. I'd like to go see cadillac ranch and palo duro canyon when it cools off in the fall.

Sorry, but the In And Outs in Texas suck compared to their west coast brethren.

I had an In And Out hamburger in Fort Worth and it was like the small burger at McDonalds with a piece of lettis on it.
