Spring Break Camping Day 1

Even though I've been really busy with tax season, Brannon convinced me we should go camping the latter half of spring break this year. We arrived late Wednesday evening at McKinney Falls State Park, near Austin. When we went to check in at the park office on Thursday morning, we discovered that Brannon had mistakenly made the reservation for only one night.  And with it being spring break week and the South by Southwest festival being this week in Austin, all the state parks anywhere close by were booked.  I called the state park reservation line to try and find a vacancy somewhere between Austin and Dallas, but did not have any luck with them.  Finally I started calling parks directly and found the last remaining spot at Buescher State Park, only 36 miles away. Whew! We went for a hike around the falls and then checked out of McKinney Falls State Park and headed northeast to Buescher State Park, right outside of Bastrop, Texas.  And it turns out that we like this campsite even better - it is more secluded and has more room for the kids to roam.  We shall see how we like the rest of the part once we have had a chance to explore it more.
