A Terrific Trip to Tyler, TX
I had a 4-day weekend at school recently and we wanted to travel but we didn’t want to fly.
So, we went to – Tyler, Texas
It’s a couple of hours of driving for us and isn’t your typical tourist destination, but it was a lot of fun!
Here’s what we did:
1. Hiked in the Tyler State Park – this is a wonderful state park with great trails and lovely tall trees. It was very beautiful!! We walked a bunch. Fair warning: the waterfall is cool but not a big one.
I also saw a big spider that scared me!

2. Went to the Caldwell zoo – this zoo is the perfect size. Not too big, not too small. A few things I really liked were:
· Feeding the giraffes
· African area – with lions, elephants
· Bird feeding – it was so cool to feed them right out of my hand
· Watching the turtles just hang out – they were so cool!
A must-visit place if you are ever in the area!

3. Rose garden – we visited it the weekend before the famous Rose festival and had very high expectation. To be honest, It was a little underwhelming, but still beautiful.
My mom loved the plants and my dad loved the fountains.
Good gift shop for rose-scented soaps etc.
I was a little unsure when my mom first suggested Tyler for our vacation but I loved it. I realized that it’s not necessary to go to famous places.
