This summer I took the kids to the San Jacinto Monument. The state park houses the monument, the battlegrounds of the famous San Jacinto battle that defeated Santa Anna and won our Texas independence as well as the Battleship Texas.
The monument itself is SO tall! We rode an elevator all the way to the top and then had a chance to look at breathtaking views.
After we watched a couple of educational videos, gaped at blue skies and lush green landscape, and toured the museum, we headed out for the hiking trail that is maintained by Texas Parks and Wildlife. We enjoyed looking at the swamp land and birds and didn't even get eaten by mosquitoes! It was a good day!
