Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
We stopped here for two reasons gas and dinosaurs. There are a strangely large number of dinosaur figures on the sides of Texas roads or in fields. We must have an odd love of dinosaurs. There is a green brachiosaurus somewhere off HW 287 and recently while hiking down near Navasota, TX we went past
The snow it gone in Texas and the spring thunderstorms are here along with some fantastic flowers – some of my favorites! I absolutely love trees in bloom but I have to act quickly if I want pictures of them. Keltin and I have a new lens – a 50mm – and this was the
I have a lot of bucket list things to do and I’m working on them but one of them is NOT jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I’ll scuba dive, I’ll ride in hot air balloons but no one has persuaded me to jump out of a plane yet. My sisters on the other
Keltin and I typically road trip while on the way to a bigger adventure. We make the journey as important as the destination. Ask yourself: where do you want to go? Is this road trip part of a bigger trip? Is it a there and back trip? Is road tripping your new nomadic life style?

Obviously 2020 was not the year we hoped it would be but Keltin and I did get to travel a little bit. It was an excellent year for hiking and we worked to make sure we were socially distancing. That fact took us to some places with some fantastic views. I share this picture probably
We love seeing the lights in downtown Grapevine on Main Street. This year did require some safety measures but we still had a great time! Do you enjoy looking at Christmas lights? Have you seen any good ones this year? Let me know in the comments! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! INSTAGRAM│FACEBOOK│TWITTER│YOUTUBE │KO FI
We love exploring small towns. They normally have some really neat history. After leaving Eisenhower State Park, Keltin and I decided to explore Denison, TX. A bit of backstory, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was born in Denison before his family moved to Kansas. His birthplace is now a historic site with a small museum. Before
On our first trip to Eisenhower State Park we stayed in the Elm Point Camping Area. These tent sites sit on top of a high bluff and overlook Lake Texoma. Pros of the Elm Point Camping Area: Beautiful views Better breeze Close proximity to the day use area Close proximity to the swim beach Cons
