🌟 Houston’s Hidden Gem: Brazos Bend State Park & George Observatory
🌳 Brazos Bend State Park • Wildlife galore: Spot alligators 🐊 (safely!), hike trails, and fish without a license 🎣. • Kid-friendly: Touch baby gators/snakes at the visitor center! • Stay options: RV sites, cabins, or just picnic under ancient oaks. • Seasonal magic: Golden lotus flowers 💛 + endless meadows. Pro tip: Bike the Elm Lake Trail (video coming soon!). 🌌 George Observatory (Inside the park!) • Giant telescopes for public stargazing every Saturday night (book ahead!). • Indoor exhibits: Space models + educational films. • Junior Astronomer programs for kids. Heads up: ✔️ Check weather—clouds = no viewing. ✔️ Bundle up (chilly nights + mosquitoes 🦟). 🎒 Pack List: • Bug spray (critical!). • Picnic snacks (no restaurants inside). #HoustonNature #Stargazing #FamilyAdventures #TexasStateParks 🌠
