Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
After our first tent camping trip, you can read about it here, I thought it might be fun to review the new gear we purchased and somethings we had that made the trip easier. First all of these opinions are my own, nothing is sponsored. Some of the gear we used was older stuff that
Yes, April 1st is actually my birthday. I even had to prove it to friends in middle school. No, my parents didn’t play pranks on me on my birthday but they did cause plenty of trouble on those other 364 days of the year. I figured the best way to celebrate my birthday would be
