For many Texans, road trips through the great state of Texas are an adventure on its own! And there are so many fun, and for the most part free, roadside attractions you can check out.

When I say "roadside attractions" I mean checking out something like the fabulous Ms. Pearl- the giant squirrel statue!

Ms. Pearl lives at the Berdoll Pecan Candy and Gift Company in Cedar Creek- and she loves nuts! And as you can see, she's bright eyed and bushy-tailed and ready for you to get your perfect picture.

Here are just 7 more quirky spots through Texas where you can get that fabulous Instagram pic!

Other quirky spots you can take a fun picture include this giant bigfoot statue in Jefferson, Texas, which, coincidentally, happens to be the bigfoot capital of Texas!

This is the spot to hangout if you're a squatcher! Jefferson is home of the Texas Bigfoot Conference. It also looks like a great place to get your sasquatch souvenirs.

And finally, if you want to really round out your European vacation in Texas, then maybe stop on by Stonehenge... the second one, that is!

That's right, nestled in the Texas Hill Country, Stonehenge II pays homage to the original monument.

An art installation by two best friends, many come from all over the world to get their first-hand look at the Texas version. Also, it's free!

Get that phone camera ready and say "yee-haw!".
