Summer is upon us soon, so that means that it’s time to plan our vacations! Whether you are trying to have a getaway with your husband or take a fun vacation with your whole family, a trip to the lake is the perfect idea for an easy, relaxing weekend. If you are a frequent reader, you probably remember that I recently had an amazing lake trip to Long Cove, which is a luxury lake community of waterside cottages and custom lakefront homes close to Dallas. You can read about it in this previous blog post. I received so many questions about it, so I thought lake vacation spots would be an interesting blog post! Ramsey did a phenomenal job researching this topic and  I’m going to give you some ideas about what lake spots to visit in or near Texas, including where to stay and what to do there. Also, I wanted to give you a detailed shopping list of what to bring with you on your trip!
