Are You Ready to Get Away and CHILLAX?

If so, let the NADOA ‘transportation department’ pave the way to a smoother trip and guide you out of the hustle and bustle! Just think, you get to kick up your heals and relax AND have an opportunity to earn some educational credits, how much better can this get?

DRIVING For those of you choosing to enjoy the Texas landscape and make the drive, self-parking is free at the hotel! Houstonians If you are driving in from Houston, you have two possible routes. You can take US-290 through Brenham, and this route will take you approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes, but beware of traffic on this route when leaving on Friday! I have been warned it can be a booger, so buyer beware…. The second route is to head towards San Antonio on Katy Freeway/I-10 then North towards Austin/La Grange TX-71. If you opt for this route it should take about 2.5 hours, dependent on traffic. Dallasites: If you are driving from Dallas, I feel for you, I am very familiar with that route. You will be on 35 heading South all the way to Temple and then you can head off into the landscape going towards TX-95. This Eastward trek may help with the 3.5 hour drive you have to reach the resort destination. Just remember in West is the famous Kolache Stop which always makes for a nice break and a snack! San Antonians: You have the shortest drive of them all, just a lovely 1.5 hour road trip North on 35, then you head towards TX- 21/TX-80 Lockhart/Luling/Bastrop. This drive is mainly on two lane roads but is not a bad drive at all. I highly suggest you stop for some yummy barbeque in Luling; it is what they are famous for! Thank you for your interest, we all are very much looking forward to seeing you soon! More information on road closures, etc… will be posted the closer we get to
