Grr... silly computer deleted my post when I submitted it.
Anywho...the shortened version is that hubby and I always go camping in the Spring and Summer in Big Bend, and have taken the little one along since she was born as well. There, we have cold nights and warm days. So we have cold weather gear.
We want to go on a weekend trip over the 22nd and 23rd of January. We've never been on such a short trip, or in Winter.
Coming from Dallas, Big Bend is out b/c of the drive time (even though hubby says the weather is great there now
). We wouldn't mind going anywhere within about a 4 hour radius.
We like typical family camping type stuff: car close to tent, easy to moderate hikes, scenic drives, food, fire (where allowed, always a plus, though), wildlife, photography (even the three year old has her own camera that she uses). Of course, it must be family friendly, and bathrooms/running water in somewhat close proximity are also needed. We are most concerned about January weather in the various locations. Do you have any place to recommend?
