This past weekend my youngest sister and my step-mom ran a half marathon at the Silos in Waco. We got the chance to wander through Magnolia.

I’m not sure when I visited my first Ren. Fest but I was probably in elementary school. In high school and college I would visit Scarborough or the Texas Ren. Fest, near Houston, at least once a year. With Covid though I hadn’t been back to either in a couple of years. This year Keltin
Keltin went to watch basketball and Bear and I went hiking at the Fort Worth Nature Center. This was a beautiful early spring day. It started off chilly but warmed up quickly. Bear was happy to get out on the trail but the heat wore him out quickly. He found a shady spot to relax
For a belated Valentine’s Day we decided to rent a Getaway cabin for a quiet weekend. This cabin outpost is about an hour and a half outside of Dallas, without traffic. With traffic, well, drive through Dallas at your own risk. Once out of the city the drive is pretty and open with pastures and

Day 1 – Texas The first day’s drive was fairly short and needed to be because we left after work to spend the night with friends in Amarillo. We have both made this drive often as we went to college in the Texas Panhandle. The most direct way to get from DFW to Amarillo is
I’m sorry to interrupt the beautiful adventures on Mount Rainier National Park. We are at a family reunion and road tripping. Honestly, I was so busy prepping and packing before we left that I didn’t have time to write much before leaving. The beauty of Washington state will be back next week. I am super
We spent the forth of July visiting some friends in Amarillo. This trip was way too short and we didn’t get to see everyone we would have liked to. Both Keltin and I went to college in the Texas Panhandle and the region holds a special place in our hearts. Saturday We started out enjoying
