One year! One whole year! I can't believe it has been a year since we officially kissed suburbia goodbye and moved into a 41'7" 5th Wheel looking for a life of adventure, exploration, learning, and reconnection. After months of researching, planning, and dreaming, we finally took the plunge! It has been adventure after adventure in... Continue Reading →
Welcome back! I started recording everything we've been doing in Ohio since we arrived the first week of May, and I couldn't believe all the places we've been! If you missed Part 1, you can catch up here. It includes all of our May 2016 adventures. In June, we have done just as much, including... Continue Reading →
We are falling into a groove...into somewhat of a schedule at our Summer Camp Home. We are at Camp Chautauqua located about 35 miles north of Cincinnati, Ohio and about 20 miles south of Dayton, Ohio. Camp Chautauqua is a church camp which is run by a good friend of ours, Jason Harmeyer, whom we... Continue Reading →
Welcome to Ohio! We have been "settled in" at Camp Chautauqua, Ohio for a few days now. By settled in, I mean, we may never get our camper out of the mud! Ha! Thankfully, they have important equipment like Bobcats around here to pull us out if necessary! I have discovered why this part... Continue Reading →
Our first destination in Tennessee was the Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park north of Memphis. Wow...So pretty...Those trees! We've been stuck in West Texas for way too many years! There's a big, beautiful world out there, friends! Getting into this park was a little challenging as we mistakingly turned into the south entrance, which if you were... Continue Reading →

We have been a little excited about it! This photo says it all. I keep just busting out into laughter when I... Continue Reading →
We recently had an unexpected blessing happen into our lives. While at McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, TX, we were getting ready one morning to go into town, when we had a knock on our door. Usually in a state park, the only person who knocks on your door is a park ranger, so my... Continue Reading →
This week, we started our journey to eventually end up in Ohio. We had a few places in Texas we wanted to visit before heading out. We were looking forward to seeing the scenery and a few big things like the Texas State Capitol Building, but we had no idea how full our hearts would... Continue Reading →
After we left Garner State Park, we decided we wanted to surprise the kids with a trip to The Caverns of Sonora, located near Sonora, TX off of I-10. They are totally infatuated with caves after our Crystal Cave discovery at Garner State Park. You can read about that here. I have been to the... Continue Reading →
If I'm honest, our first impression of Garner State Park was not great. The main office is set up like a DMV, complete with a number dispenser and cubby counters, so it's a little intimidating when you first get there. Not to mention, the girls who worked the desk were the least friendly Texas State... Continue Reading →
