Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
After hiking at Lake Mineral Wells State Park we explored the actual town a bit. Mineral Wells is probably best well know for the Baker Hotel. A building that towers over the city, a now closed remnant from the 1930’s. We wanted to explore the area a bit and take some photos of the old
On the same beach trip where we took the wonderful photos of an energetic Bear there was a sailboat beached well… on the beach. Name: Black Pearl, or I think it was anyway. Said boat made for some great shots. All of these were taken with our 70-200mm lens. My sister met up with us
Bear loves to run and swim. Most of the time it is in lakes but he is a fan of the beach too. Keltin took these in Galveston last time we were there. If you drive past the seawall and the places where you can pay to drive on the beach you can find some
As much as Keltin and I love the beach we can only sit and bake in the sun for so long. We love exploring new places and new things, thus on our most recent trip down to the Texas coast we visited the Galveston Railroad Museum. This museum is right on The Strand and in

Part of the reason that I was so excited to visit Austin recently was that it meant I could finally visit Meridian Hive Meadery. I’ve been to a decent number of breweries and a growing list of wineries but not many places make mead but Meridian Hive makes some that is pretty darn good. I
Over Memorial Day weekend Keltin and I decided to visit Austin. Specifically to visit the state capitol building. I had not visited in years and Keltin had never been. We decided to go on Sunday morning, it was probably no where near as busy as Saturday was but we didn’t really account for it being
Bear is a rescue dog that I adopted at 12 weeks. I really did mean to get a little bit older dog – 1 or 2 years old – but he was a little puppy curled up into a little yellow ball in the last kennel. I had to take him home. I count his
The second brewery we visited in Fredericksburg was the Alstadt Brewery. It sits outside of town on highway 290, and it looks like a mansion. This place is huge. It has the brewery, bar, restaurant, and who knows what else all in one. Keltin and I didn’t try all of their brews on location. We
