Goliad, TX Travels

 We are extremely happy with our decision to purchase a Texas States Park Pass. We have primarily stayed in State parks and they have all been outstanding. Its also nice that all the spaces have a picnic table, bbq grill and fire ring. They also have bathrooms/and shower facilities. With our pass and discounts we usually end up staying at a state park for only $15 a night. (A few places have been cheaper and one was a tiny bit more).

We really enjoyed our four day stay in Goliad. Tons of history here. We visited the Mission, Presidio La Bahia, Downtown-Courthouse square and Oak Hill Cemetery (1800 settlers) and a fun little in town 'fort' park-playground.

Native Americans, Spanish explorers and missionaries, Texian soldiers and early settlers walked the land of what is now Goliad State Park and Historic Site in southeast Texas. Goliad borders the San Antionio River 

Goliad is a tiny town of 2,028. It is known for the 1836 Goliad massacre during the Texas Revolution. It is about 40 miles inland from the coast. La Bahía is a fort constructed by the Spanish Army that became the nucleus of the modern-day city of Goliad.

Moving day is here and it was a wonderful experience in this tiny town with a huge history in Texas. The camp site was gorgeous with trails and wildflowers galore. We're ready for our next family adventure ahead-
