This week on The Texas Bucket List we have a wide variety of stops from ghost towns to burger joints in the city and a museum that will have you wishing it was time for the holidays already.
Our first stop is the Santa Claus Museum in Columbus. This little place keeps the holiday spirit alive 365 days a year with hundreds and hundreds of Santa figurines. While the collection was originally just a family tradition it has grown into an attraction you have to see to believe.
Next up we are going to satisfy our sweet tooth and our love for a classic burger all at the same time. This small restaurant on the East side of the Alamo City combines dessert and lunch with their ice cream burger, a culinary masterpiece you never thought could be this delicious.
Lastly, we will slow things down in the small ghost town of Pumpville. The local Baptist church is quite a drive, but the tight knit community and weekly pot luck make it worth the trip.
So get ready for this week’s must see stops right here on The Texas Bucket List.
