Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
We spent last weekend at my grandparent’s lake house. We read and napped most of the day, it was wonderful to relax. It was overcast and windy all Saturday but near dusk the clouds began to move. At first there was just a little tinge of orange on the horizon in the west. Just a
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

This trip we didn’t drive from Dallas to Kansas. We actually flew to Amarillo before driving to Johnson. Typically it is a three hour drive between the two but not on the drive back to Amarillo. When we left Johnson it was 3℉ and there were three inches of snow on the ground. Despite the
Most of our stay in Kansas was really cold. However, the day we arrived was fairly warm and after hours in a vehicle I needed to stretch my legs. We were staying with his parents and while they were still at work we decided to take their corgi, Dawson, out for a walk. He was
When you get the chance to visit Florence, Italy there are many, many museums and galleries housing priceless art. No matter what visit the Accademia Gallery. This is where Michelangelo’s David stands. I know there are other works in the museum but I very vaguely remember them. This is for a number of reasons. First
Keltin and I spent Saturday in Fort Worth. Our first stop was the farmers market on a beautiful bright and windy day. I did get the eggs, produce, and sourdough without being blown away but it was a near thing. With all that in the cooler we went to the massage we had scheduled because
