Sometimes a trip to the beach is just a trip to the beach.
I celebrated one year of 24-hour trips with 24inTX last week and I just happened to be at Mustang Island State Park.
It was late August, which meant that the kids were back in school and the family vacation season was officially over. It was prime time to take advantage of something I’ve always wanted to do – camp on the beach.
If you’re looking for a relaxing get away with all the comforts of home, Sonora‘s the place.
It’s on I-10, just south of Eldorado, and it’s home to X Bar Ranch Nature Retreat and the Caverns of Sonora.
I was tired when I arrived at X Bar Ranch. Before Sonora, I visited Balmorhea, where I camped, and Marfa, where I slept in a safari tent and bathed outdoors. I loved doing all of those things, but four days of traveling, living outside (in the rain) and packing in as much activity in as I possibly could made me ready for some peace and quiet.
