Trippin' with Grandma - Part 4 - Conroe/Lake Conroe & Montgomery plantersville

Conroe, Lake Conroe & Montgomery, Plantersville


As I'm organizing the many lists and charts I realize that I have too much information on my hands to make a general list of everything, which gave me the idea that I should organize the lists by area. In other words, places that can be visited on a single trip. The town of Montgomery is only about 15 minutes away from west side of Magnolia, making it an easily accessible destination. Conroe, and the Lake area are a short trip further. Here is a general list of things to do that can be combined to make a full day of fun. 
Of course, I'd love to do everything, but realistically we will only be doing a few things in one day trip, with the remainder of the list being things we have on our wish list for another time. We do already have one full day of this page planned with reservations made.. and that part is the beginning of the list. enjoy!
