What to Pack for Your Family Vacation in Texas

What to Pack for Your Family Vacation in Texas

Packing everything you need for your vacation in Texas ensures you have more time to enjoy the rides, water parks, the great outdoors, and beaches.

  • 1. Clothes

    As Texas’s weather tends to vary throughout the year, you’ll want to pack accordingly. Its hot and humid summers call for light clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, comfortable shoes, sandals, socks, and swimwear.

  • 2. Cash and credit cards

    Whereas credit cards are widely accepted in Texas, you may still need to have enough cash for meals, entry to attractions, car rentals, and shopping.

  • 3. Electronics

    You'll likely want to bring your phone or tablet to access music and social media and keep in touch with people back home. Remember to bring a portable adaptor, earphones, and of course, a camera.
