We are Brave Family Adventures and we LOVE living in the great state of Texas! One of our most favorite family trips was a 15-day road trip through our beautiful state. On this trip we saw 13 State Parks, 1 National Recreation Area - Amistad, and 1 National Park - Big Bend. Our boys slid down waterfalls, swam in crystal clear rivers, and hiked through deep canyons. We started and ended where we live in Rockwall (near Dallas) but this trip can start in any corner of the state!
