Texas Beach — Unpacked

Summer is meant to be celebrated, soaked in and explored. For just a few shorts months we are blessed with longer, sunny days, meant to spend countless hours outdoors, living life. This past weekend we took a short trip to a local riverside beach complete with rocks for sunning, trails to conquer and a view fit for a few sun salutations; to do just that, explore. 

Packing up just a few essentials, bikinis made to do double duty, hiking gear, great reading material and an extra few layers just in case, we were on our way.

The journey was honestly a little scary, two girls tip toeing through lush, desolate trails, we thought of turning back a few times. Luckily, we didn’t and just a few mosquito bites later we were toes deep in warm river water.

Gracing the beach as the sun rose, we had the entire coastline to ourselves. We sun bathed and gossiped (ya know, typical girl time) while doing what we love most: having fun being active.

Before long the trails were abuzz with runners and cyclists. We swapped our sandals for sneakers and took to the trails, discovering beautiful landscapes and making new friends along the way. After sweating it out we returned to the beach to spend the rest of the day skipping rocks and soaking in the beautiful summer sun.
