Great list. I can't wait to go and drive around.
Will be looking to try some of these this holiday season. There is an amazing place in Giddings, TX called Camp Tejas. It is located close to Austin. They put on a Christmas lights event every year. Definitely worth checking out. www.camptejas.org/LOT
