The Spirit that touches Your Life

As most of you know, I love to go on road trips whether I just go to see the ending of a major street, just drive on a new road, or go on a daytrip. And, that’s just what My Wonderful Mom and I went on this past weekend. You see, My Mom and I felt like we wanted to see a town we haven’t been to before instead of seeing the same old towns around here. So, we decided to go check out the towns of Glen Rose and Granbury with a detour to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Glen Rose and Granbury are towns southwest of Fort Worth and the area is known as the North Texas Hill Country. That was certainly true for Glen Rose because there were a lot of hills around it which made the surrounding area very pretty. In fact, it felt like the real Texas Hill Country northwest of San Antonio. But, a lot of the towns in that area have a lot of bed and breakfasts. Now, Dinosaur Valley State Park wasn’t very impressive, except for the giant dinosaurs standing at the front of the park. But, I found the giant dinosaurs there unique and cool because you don’t find that just anywhere. But, anyway the non-impressive part was the dino tracks because 2 of the 3 tracks we either couldn’t find or were blocked off. The first tracks were a few feet under the river there, the second tracks we found but, you would think it was just a hole in the ground. And, the 3rd one was blocked off. Now, don’t get me wrong, the park was nice to hike and camp. But, for what it was worth ($5 a person) it wasn’t worth coming to see the dino tracks and leave. Now, the town of Granbury was an awesome town because it had cool stuff like it has a lake called Lake Granbury which runs along the Brazos River, Log Cabins, a nice downtown area, and pretty houses along Lake Granbury. But, what really made this town special was the fact that they had a real sandy beach along Lake Granbury. Yes, you heard it right, a REAL SANDY BEACH in the middle of Texas on a lake. Also, in downtown area (or what I call D-town area for short) was nice and quaint. It had nice shops and believe it or not they were selling wine in one of them because to my surprise, they actually have a winery nearby the town of Granbury. So, all in all here daytrips are fun and you’ll be surprised at what you fill find.
Thanks for reading The Christianville Spirit. Take a Daytrip to some towns and you’ll find the amazing treasures there are.
