We recently made a trip to Crystal Beach near Galveston and discovered a wonderful restaurant…
When I was a kid my parents, sister, and I went to Galveston every year. We did all the normal tourist attractions, except for Schlitterbahn only because it wasn’t there then. We always had the best time and some of my best memories are from there.
Landa Park, in New Braunfels, is a beautiful park.
It has huge trees, and the Comal River runs right through it. There are ducks to feed (so we take a cheap bag of bread), and water to wade in.
There is also an Olympic-sized pool($) and a spring fed pool($) (with slides, zip lines, swings, islands, and an area for smaller kids).
Wondering if you can have fun in New Braunfels?
New Braunfels (also Gruene, Texas) in Comal County has a large variety of activities and attractions to offer anyone visiting the area.
Here you will find a one of a kind cavern, a dinosaur museum, a wildlife ranch, Canyon Lake (water skiing, sailing, fishing, and more), a water park, and the Guadalupe and Comal rivers.
I’ve always wanted to go parasailing in South Padre…
We spent a few days on South Padre Island last summer. We stayed in the Holiday Inn next to Schlitterbahn.
As these summer vacations go, we spend a lot of time on the beach. The path that leads to the beach from the Holiday Inn passes by a stall where they sell tickets to go parasailing in South Padre.
