Short Road Trip from Houston / Chappell Hill, Washington, Navasota, Brenham (70 miles from Houston.
" It was great to see Fall foliage while driving on 290 from Houston. This was a great weekend excursion away from the city to take in the natural beauty of the area and to learn some Texas history. This trip allowed to step back in time and enjoy a pleasant outing of browsing and strolling along its streets. It took just half day to look around four towns" (Filmed on 12/4/21)
