Garner state park
Garner state park is our first stop. This park is located 5 hours away from Houston just past San Antonio.. There is plenty to do at this park. This include swimming when it's warmer (it was in the 40's and 50's on the days we went), canoeing, paddle boats, hiking trails, dancing to country music in the evening (a family event), and miniature gulf. The people here are very very friendly and instantly made us feel welcomed. There is a small store which supplied all the essentials for camping and food too. There is even a restaurant that served typical american food (hotdogs, hamburger, chicken tenders). Like all state parks there are showers and toilet facilities provided. This is a HUGE park and can get up to 9,000 visitors during the summer. We happen to go when it was cold so it was not as full as it normally is during spring break. For those who prefer not to camp in tents there are screen shelters to rent. I should also mention that there is no cell phone reception for all carriers with the exception of AT&T ( This is the first).. So the whole weekend, I went without a phone and survived..:).. It was a definite great get away for my son and I. Valerie and her daughter Olivia joined us on this trip as well. It was great to have the company......
