We were lapsed campers and it again was almost a year before we headed back in November 2006 to Brazos Bend State Park- one of my favorites growing up. I bet I camped with the alligators more than a dozen times during my formative years with my mom & Gram. The park is only an hour from Houston, and there are numerous hike & bike trails that you can spend your day with nature on. Also, the super-cool George Observatory (Telescope) is there for star & planet watching at nights.
There are THOUSANDS of gators roaming the park, which adds to the excitement and adventure. This weekend, we are headed up to McKinney Falls SP near Austin. I’ve never camped there before, but I took Zoe a few times to play when we lived in Austin.
We’re OFF!! A much needed break and some great couple time around the campfire. Plus Lots of fun with the camera =)
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Getting back to nature is great for the soul.
