When to Go
Be warned, most of Texas gets quite hot in summer and attractions will be crowded. Spring
has much nicer weather. Texas schools' spring breaks cover all the weeks in March, so
book ahead during that time.
What to Pack
Don't forget the sunscreen. Many of Texas' best activities are outdoors and the sun can be
brutal here. Count on needing mosquito spray at some time. If you're going to a beach or a
river, be sure to bring water shoes to protect sensitive little feet.
