Bonaire – The Beaches

Our journey to Bonaire started like any other. We landed at night, got our car, and Pa proceeded to get lost. After about 45 minutes of driving in circles, we finally found our house. It was a cozy little place right on the water, Casa Topana. At this point, though, there was no time for…

Houston Fun

It was a big weekend in my own city. One of Pa’s best friends was getting married. Pa was in the wedding, so we decided to pack up the car and hang out in the city for the weekend. It started on Friday with the rehearsal dinner. I ran around with some other people my…

San Antonio – 2016

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…

Jackson Hole Wildlife Tour

We woke up early, like real early and I had no idea why. Both Ma and Pa were excited. They said we were going to see animals in the wild. I thought, sounds good to me, I like animals. We headed down and got some breakfast while we waited for our tour guide. We were…

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

So Ma needed a snow fix. Since she had grown up in Ohio, she had started to miss the snow. I had never seen snow, much less temperatures below 50F. So we hopped on an easy flight to Jackson, Wyoming. We left Christmas day, and it was 80F. We landed, 3 hours later, and it…

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. The San Jacinto Monument represents a critical moment in the Texas Revolution where Texas gained its independence from Mexico. The monument is the largest stone monument in…

A weekend in Galveston

I had heard my parents speak about this place. A place of vast waters and sandy beaches. I enjoyed my last few visits to the beach and figured this would be fun too. We were going down to Galveston to celebrate a friend’s birthday. They had a camper right off of the beach…..super cool!! When…

Ohio Summer Camp – With Pa

So Pa finally showed up for Summer Camp. We were ready jump back into the Summer Camp fun. Evan and Owen were moving from Columbus to a small town outside of Cleveland. There were a lot of things to see and people to meet in that part of the state, so we decided to make…

Ohio Summer Camp – Before Pa

So, Ma and I flew to Ohio. I was on my best behavior on the plane because I knew she was ridin’ solo for this trip. Ohio was where Ma grew up. We were going to stay with MeeMaw and PeePaw out on their 5-acre farm. It all sounded so exciting. We were greeted by…
