Last Minute Summer Getaways In Texas

New Braunfels For The Win

A Central Texas destination that welcomes you with a “Guten Tag.” New Braunfels offers German culture,  German cuisine, riverside cabins, and the world-famous – Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Waterpark. And, don’t forget all the fun you can have on the Guadeloupe River and the Comal River. We love this part of Texas Hill Country.

RV Camping In East Texas

All RVers, take note of these 12 RV Campgrounds to visit in Texas. RVing is fun and less expensive than a hotel, and you can enjoy the view of East Texas piney woods. Plus, bring your own food to save money, and the family pets get to come along too!!

Last Minute Summer Getaways In Texas

Enjoy The Outdoors In Bastrop

Another great family destination to set you afloat is Bastrop. Southeast Austin hosts Lake Bastrop and terrific access to the Colorado River. It is also home to the Lost Pines and a large state park offering outdoor activities.

A History Lesson In Gonzales

Full of history, Gonzales offers educational opportunities year-round. Gonzales provides fun for everyone with a true town square, great eats, and lots of shops. This central Texas town can be reached within a few hours from the large metropolitan centers making it an excellent pick for families.

Visit The Bison In San Angelo

A further trip west could find you along Route 66 in San Angelo. Home to bison and a former bordello (yes, you read that right), there is fun day or night.

Make A Splash In South Texas

Near Houston, there are multiple coastal and bay destinations, including  Brazosoport, Baytown, and Pearland, or maybe a full list of waterparks in Texas might help you decide.

And of course, just 45 minutes south of the city is a jewel of history and coastal living – Galveston Island.

Play At Margaritaville Resort On Lake Conroe

An island vibe has never looked so good! If relaxing lakeside, or by the many outdoor pools, or perhaps in a hot tub, or hanging out in the lazy river is your ideal vacation, you need to check out the new Margaritaville Resort On Lake Conroe, TX.

Ride Horses At South Fork Ranch – Plano

While vacationing in Plano, take a short drive to the iconic South Fork Ranch and remanence about Dallas’s famous TV show. Then, take a ride on a guided horseback ride. Afterward, hang out with the longhorns and tour the main house. More about Attractions in Plano.

Eat Your Heart Out In Galveston

Aside from the fun days at the beach, Galveston has some magnificent restaurants on the Seawall and in town that are meant to be visited. Next time you’re in Galveston to play on the beach or for something else, check out Where To Eat In Galveston.

 

And if that’s not all, Kim is sharing her popular post from her blog – My Traveling Roads – Quick Family Weekend Getaways Near Dallas-Fort Worth.

However you choose to spend your summer, we hope 2022 brings you and your family lots of fun and memories.
