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…
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…
Guadeloupe – The Sights
I love the beach, but this trip was more than just basking in the sun. Guadeloupe has a ton of activities, more than we could pack into a week-long trip. We set our sights on a few of the highlights and must-see places. We were based on Basse Terre, so most of our activities were…
Guadeloupe – Beach Fun

Slovenia – The Alps
We landed at the Ljubljana airport just as the sun was setting. Flurries were falling. A friend of Ma’s met us at the airport. He helped us get our car and gave us some general direction to get to our hotel. By then it was dark, and the flurries had stopped. We hopped in the…
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…
The Canadian Rockies
We arrived in Banff after driving from Calgary. And what a drive it was. It went from flat plains to giant mountains over the course of the journey. It was really quite epic. What a way to start our trip. We made it to our hotel and got settled. It wasn’t very late but was…
