We decided to head east for a change and explore Tyler and Lake Palestine. On the way though Tyler we had dinner at Mercados which was recommended by a couple different people, Good margarita and ok traditional Mexican fare. We spent Thursday and Friday night in one of the lodge rooms at Lake Palestine Campground and Lodge. Lake Palestine Campground sits on 10 acres on a peninsula in a cove of Lake Palestine. They have RV sites, one tent site and a variety of lodge rooms. We had a room that overlooked the cove and was 10 feet from the water. Lake Palestine Campground is a good spot to stay because it is centrally located for exploring Lake Palestine, an easy 10 minute drive to Tyler, or 15 minutes south to Palestine.

Following a good breakfast in the Lake Palestine Campground cafe, we headed to Tyler to play "The Traveling Texas Tourist". The first stop was the Tyler visitors bureau to pick up all the standard tourist information and to make sure that we didn't miss any of the Tyler attractions and things to do. Right across the street from the visitors bureau is the Discovery Science Place. This is an excellent place to spent some time with your kids - they have three hands-on exhibit halls where kids are free to move around and explore, plus hands on learning centers, a subterranean display, and an interesting traveling exhibit from San Francisco. Kids from 5 to 12 should really enjoy a few hours here.
