The Guadalupe river... although it was too low to kayak it fully.. we still did portions of it but the best part is the camping sites all along River road #rv #camping #river #kayaking #summer
Just driving around an old part of town and spotted this old place. Looks like it hold lots of memories.
We stayed in an amazing Vrbo on the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels. It’s a great spot to relax and watch the tubers float by! #LifeAtExpediaGroup
