Ohio Buckeyes

Ohio, for me, is about spending time with family and escaping the Texas heat for a week.  We always head to Ohio during the summer.  My week in Ohio is my own personal summer camp.  We fish, play tennis, ride horses, and eat ice cream.  What more could a boy ask for! Well, in honor…

Keystone – Skiing Professional

I love snow.  Hold up…let me rephrase.  I love visiting places where it snows.  I’m not sure if I could handle snow all winter long, but for a week or two at a time, I’m game.  I was excited about this trip and not just for the usual snowball fights and hot chocolate.  On this…

The Big Apple & The Garden State

Last year, my first friend Olie and her family moved to New Jersey.  I was so sad.  She is like a big sister.  Well, I am more like the annoying little brother!  But today, we hopped on a plane a flew out the Big Apple to see her and spend some time with her family. …

Summer Camp 2019

Summer Camp #4 It was time to escape the heat of summer in Texas.  So we packed up our stuff and headed up north, where the summers are lovely…and the people are too.  Horses My first stop every time we go to Ohio is to say hi to Annie and Blooper.  These are PeePaw’s horses. …

Kaua’i – The Beach Bro

We had done a lot of running around to see the Island of Kaua’i, but I’m a beach bum at heart.  I was here to put my toes in the sand and put my bum in the water.   The apartment turned out to be perfect.  We had a view of the ocean from our patio…

Kaua’i – More than the beach life

Aloha! I’m sorry.  I couldn’t resist. This trip was to Kaua‘i, known as the Garden Isle of Hawaii.  After spending a week here, I totally get the name. I was looking forward to this trip.  Not just because I love the beach and water but because I was headed to my namesake. In Hawaiian, my…

Eating our way through Charleston

This trip was definitely not for me.  Pa had been wanting to come to Charleston for a long time.  Yes, there is history, beautiful plantations, and just a lot to see.  But that is not why Charleston was high on Pa’s bucket list. With centuries of Lowcountry recipes being passed from family to family, there…

Summer Camp – 2018

I was looking forward to my third summer camp with MeeMaw and PeePaw.  Ohio summers are the best.  Texas is just way too hot to enjoy.  I take one step outside, and my hair looks like Pa’s when he is out opening restaurants… #crazyhair. Horses The first stop for every summer camp is to go…

Vegas Baby…well not really!

Vegas Baby, ya! Well, I am only three, so I don’t think I can properly appreciate the magnitude of the Strip. But the Strip was not the reason we were here. We were headed out for some hiking adventures. However, we did stop for some food at the Bellagio. Pa wanted to place a bet…

Ohio – Summer Camp 2017

Oh, what an epic week this was. Ma and I went to Ohio to visit MeeMaw and PeePaw. We hopped on a bird and took it directly to Columbus, Ohio. MeeMaw and PeePaw met us at the airport. And we headed straight to their house to begin the festivities. It started with a trip out…
