Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Visiting Belize with my sisters was an unbelievable trip. It was a chance to explore a new place and grow our relationship. We had an amazing time diving and fishing. After a lot of discussion the only thing we decided we would have changed was how long we stayed. We needed an extra day after
On our last full day in Belize – after two full days of diving – we went sport fishing in the shallow crystal blue waters off of Ambergris Caye. I’m not a big fisherman but both Brooke and Emily are and they had hopes of catching a Grand Slam – bonefish, tarpon and permit all caught on the
Bear and I had a free Saturday while Keltin did photography and radio for Tarleton sports and I decided the day would be best spent outdoors and in nature. We spent most of the day hiking the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. It is $5 per adult to enter and dogs are welcome as
Our final two dives in Belize were fantastic. We dove the cliffs of two atolls. It is odd going up over the edge of coral and one moment you are swimming in turquoise water and directly on the other side is dark deep blue with no points of reference. I loved it and would do
Summer 2019 has been pretty amazing. Not only did I get engaged to the love of my life but I’ve been on some pretty fantastic trips too. We started the summer off right Memorial Day weekend with a trip down to Fredericksburg and were able to visit some fantastic state parks: Old Tunnel State Park

It has been a while since I have been to a street festival and one of my favorite ones is finally here! I really like GrapeFest because it gives me the chance to try wines that I wouldn’t typically buy along with wondering the festival and listening to a variety of live music. This year
There are a variety of items on all adventures’ bucket lists and for a diver having gotten a chance to dive the second largest barrier reef in the world was defiantly an item checked off the list. Getting to dive the Blue Hole the next day was icing on the cake and another great bucket
We enjoyed a lot of good food in Belize other that at El Fogon. After checking into our rooms we made our way to Pineapples restaurant with an ocean front view and with a Carib I enjoyed a pineapple burger – Brooke still craves it and I only shared a bite. Brooke had the ceviche
