@yankeejessicaDude, consider renting a cabin in New Braunfels and floating the river........Check out Barton Springs Pool in Austin / McKinney Falls State Park in Austin........South Padre for a lil' Fishing and Beach action, as well as the Sea Turtle Rescue Center, South Padre Island Birding Center, the Port Isabel Lighthouse, and there's even a Schlitterbahn Water Park there....  If you wanted to stay closer to home, check out the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation by Livingston.... Hit up Lake Livingston or Huntsville State Parks for a day of Fishin', Hikin', Grillin' and Games..... You could make a day of visiting the Battleship Of Texas and the San Jacinto Monument........Possibly take in a 'stros Game.... 4951
