There's
a Cinema 6 (less than 3 miles away), the Showboat Drive-In, and a
19 screen Silverado with Imax!
It's
a little further away (about 20 minutes east), but well worth the
trip for a fabulous lunch at any one of about 15 restaurants, and over 150
shops in charmingly renovated Texas frame and brick houses. You can
justify it with a visit to GRS Creations (a clothing and quilt fabric
shop), and there's even a winery!
The
"Tee-It-Up" driving range, with 60 practice tees, is 1½
miles from the retreat.
