We stayed at the Log Country Cove in Kingsland, Tx on lake LBJ. I would highly recommend it. It was a great family place with lots of playgrounds, horse shoes, jet skis, fishing, volleyball, and just great scenery. Our place was a duplex right on the lake. Our front porch overlooked the lake and had a fire pit, hammock and rocking chairs. The weather was a perfect 75 degrees and it couldn't be more relaxing. We even made a friend, Dillon the camp Chihuahua. He seems to take a liking to me and would just walk up and jump in my lap while I was sitting in the rocking chair in the mornings. He was a really nice dog, but I have this sneaking suspicion that he was really wanting some food handouts. The only really disappointing things was to find that the coffee mugs were super small, so I had to improvise. We did end up buying an Inks Lake State Park mug a little later.
While we were there we did rent a jet ski for an hour. I mean come on, it was spring break and almost no one was on the lake. We had to give it a try. Well all I can say is that I want one now. It was a lot fun.

While we were there in Kingsland, we decided to visit Inks Lake State Park which was right down the street about 8 miles or so. While we were there, we decided to get a State Park Pass which means I can take up to 14 people in my car or vehicle to any Texas State Park and costs about $60. We figure it's a good way to get out of the house and get back to nature and exercise. Inks Lake was a great state park, because nearly all the campsites are right on the water. The park has about 11 miles of trails and we hiked about 5.5 to 6 miles of it. It's kinda funny, because we both thought the route we were taking was about 2.5 to 3 miles. The map was a little confusing because the mile markers had no beginning and no ending just a number. Most of it was an easy hike, but the last 2-2.5 miles was a little rocky and hot. We hit that park on a Friday before the spring break crowd and we didn't see anyone on the trail all day. We were just glad to be back in the cabin at the end of the day.

The next day we decided to drive to the Longhorn Cavern State Park and tour the cavern. Sadly our state park pass did not work at this location...puzzling. It did get us a discount on the tour tickets. I liked the tour and was surprised how large the cavern was. I would say if you want to take pictures ... bring a tripod though. I tried to salvage some of the pictures, but most were blurry.
