We all know Texas is so big you can travel for days and never leave the state, which means there is so much to do, that you don't have to leave the state. I always see people on social media looking for family-friendly adventures to go on right here in our great state. Pick anywhere you want to go in the state and I am about to take you there. Here are some quick getaways you can take from Midland/Odess over the Labor Day holiday weekend:

1. Natural Bridge Caverns In San Antonio. This is something the whole family can enjoy. Seven of the cave networks are open to the public daily, showcasing limestone formations and pools with connecting footpaths. Since you are already in San Antonio, let the adventure begin with places like the Riverwalk, Sea World, Fiesta Texas, and so much more.

5. Moody Gardens in Galveston. Moody Gardens is full of adventure with an aquarium, indoor rainforest, golf course, spa, restaurants, 3D and 4D theaters, ropes course, and zip line. Moody Gardens is a full resort with pools and its own private beach and seasonal activities. Schilterbaun is next door and since you are in Galveston you might as well go to the beach. Don't forget to make a stop on Pleasure Pier.
