things to do in Odessa, TX

Soon my family and I will travel once again to Odessa. We are from there and our parents and siblings still live there. We would probably live there too, but there is no military installations there! Growing up there I always heard people say that there is nothing to do there, but that isn't true. Here are a few things you can do if you live there or find yourself visiting there.
