The Coastal Plains
in Texas
Greetings from Texas!
Hey Mrs. Steger! I wish you were here in the Coastal Plains with me. There is so much to do here. It was totally awesome, trust me, you'd feel like you were on cloud9. Just wanted to say hi and that I'll be seeing you very soon! Here are some things I did here.
Colorado River
The Colorado River was so awesome to swim in! We went paddle boarding, surfing, and went on a boat! Way too cool, the water was also fresh so no need to worry about the yucky sea salt.
Exploring the Cities
Galveston Bay
Too awesome! Went on the coolest boat tour ever! The view was just beautiful during the sunset. Walked a nice slow walk on the beach, took some great pictures, and ate amazing food. Something I'm totally going to remember.
Houston
The Space Center in Houston is just really awesome. Got to do some cool experiments and watch some interesting documentaries about space. Ate some space food, which was pretty cool to try. Love to go back there sometime.
Palm Trees
Saw some gorgeous palm trees in the coastal plains! They were so beautiful to look at. They are super tall, and I think I might've seen some with coconut. Specially, in the sunset they were so cool.
Guaranteed to be relaxing and fun!
Plains (Coastal)
Took a small little road trip to check out the plains here. It was OBVIOUSLY just flat, but just a swift of fresh air was so relaxing. There weren't so many flowers to see, but I saw some, and I got to see lots and lots of wheat and grass. A couple of livestock too which was pretty cool. Of course it was hot but it was a nice day for a picnic.
Piney Woods
The Piney Woods were very.. Woody! SO MANY TREES. It was a little bit spooky yet exciting to walk through the same time. Saw some really cool birds, trees, animals, and at one point I thought I saw a bear which turned out to be a tree!
