Arguably the oldest, continuously operating recording studio in America, SugarHill Studios in Houston has witnessed the beginnings of stellar careers, the birth of musical genres and the recording of many hits in its 72 year history.

Beyoncé Knowles cut her first tracks and her first albums with Destiny's Child here in Studio A. The Big Bopper tracked "Chantilly Lace" in studio B. The list goes on and on.

We often "camp out" at this cool little country B&B during the Christmas holidays with friends.

Cowboy Campout is a 15-acre working horse ranch just north of Historic Montgomery, Texas near the Sam Houston National Forest. The bunkhouse accommodates 12 guests in semi-private rooms. Two private bathrooms and lounge are located inside.
