Stories from the Texas, my home state!
Austin and the North Pole Flyer
Oh man! I was ready for this trip. My best friend Landon and I were headed Austin to see Santa Clause on a train. Does it get any better than this? Oh, it does! We headed to Landon’s house to meet up. Landon’s dad was driving, and so we had to load our stuff into…
Lakehouse fun
Road trip time. We loaded up the car with food and floaties and headed to a lake house in East Texas with some of Pa’s friends. This was going to be an awesome weekend of swimming, jet skiing, and just good fun with friends. It started with me getting to know the “good” Liam. As…
Brazos Bend State Park

We took some back roads on our way to San Antonio. These roads took us through Lockhart, the BBQ capital of Texas. We decided to stop at Black’s BBQ. They are famous for their beef ribs, and now I know why. Ahhhhhhmazing. What an experience. It was a great meal in a cool setting. The…
Bluebonnets – 2016
How do I begin this one? This, I think, is a strangely odd Texas tradition. In March and April, Texas wildflowers are in bloom, including the state flower, Bluebonnets. During this time of year, you can drive down many of the highways in southeast and central Texas and see tons of families taking pictures in…
San Jacinto Monument
It was Thanksgiving week, so that meant MeeMaw and PeePaw were in town. And that meant an adventure around Houston. We decided to see the San Jacinto Monument.
