If you're itching for a nice day trip out of the city, look for Burton, Texas — smack dab in the middle of it all between Houston and Austin. It's a sleepy little town where the back roads end, but don't overlook the lively nightlife, fabulous antique shopping and mouth-waterin' grub. The historic buildings make a nice backdrop for quinceañera or prom pics ... or even your next feature film.
