KEVIN’S PUZZLES AT HOME
SEASON 7, EPISODE 4:
TEXAS FEVER
Kevin made a diary recording his recent journey across The Lone Star State. Yeehaw!
“Of course I had to buy a ticket to watch the Texas Rangers play one of their home games in Globe Life Field in this city.”
“While in this coastal city, I paid a visit to an old WWII aircraft carrier which has been transformed into the USS Lexington Museum.”
“This city full of cattle ranchers was founded in 1849 as a military outpost, and was named after a major general in the US Army.”
“When NASA picked this city as the site for their Manned Spacecraft Center, it forever earned the nickname ‘Space City’.”
“The University of Texas of the Permian Basin Stonehenge, a replica of Stonehenge in this West Texas city, really ‘rocks’!”
“The residents here are obviously very proud of the Alamo, judging by its depiction on the city’s flag.”
“This quaint city on the Guadalupe River is way smaller than the Canadian city of the same name which serves as the capital of British Columbia.”
“No trip to this lovely city is complete without a visit to the Dr Pepper Museum.”
