Henderson Beach State Park is the prettiest, most pristine, and quietest beach in Destin, Florida. We enjoyed basking in the Florida sun and wading into the warm, emerald green Gulf waters. With over a mile of majestic shoreline anchored by 30-foot, snow-white, sand dunes, it is the perfect place for a beach walk. It offers …

I break them down by Breakfast, Lunch/Dinner/Linner, and Dessert. What did we miss? I also divulge how many pounds I gained …

Best State Parks In Tennessee (Best of Tennessee)
A few years ago, we set out in our RV (as new RVers) to visit all the state parks in TN. We did that (all 58 of them at that time). Along the way, we did a lot of RV trailer camping, tent camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, cave exploring, and learning about history. We visited …

6 Years Later – 100K RV Tow Truck Review – Ready For Another One
It’s been almost a year since we went RV’ing. Since the last trip, my tow vehicle (2019 RAM 1500) crossed over 100,000 miles (and the certified pre-owned warranty expired). I needed to decide what to do about that. • Our Tow Truck (What We Started With) • What Has It Costs Us So Far? • …

White Sands National Park and White Sands Missile Range
Emmaline left us to head back home, leaving two grown adults on their own in the desert. So we did what any responsible (?!?) adults would do in that situation…went sand sledding! After that, I obtained a top-secret security clearance to access a missile testing facility. Lets! Go!
Big Bend Ranch State Park & Fort Davis National Historic Site
Drive Day! Might as well take one of the prettiest drives in Texas. Then we might as well sprinkle in a couple of neat hikes (Closed Canyon Trail and Hoodoos & Balanced Rock Trail @ Big Bend Ranch State Park) and maybe a visit to Fort Davis National Historic Site. Busy travel day to drop …

Big Bend National Park – Rio Grande Village, Boquillas Canyon & Hot Springs

Big Bend National Park – Chisos Basin and Lost Mine Trail
It was hike day in Big Bend National Park for us. For various reasons, we didn’t do the South Rim Trail (sad face emoji) as I planned. We wound up doing the Lost Mine Trail. It could not have been too much worse. It was the perfect hike. It also saved us about 10 miles …

Big Bend National Park – Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive & Santa Elena Canyon
This was one of my favorite days at Big Bend National Park. The Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive was beautiful. It had lots of stops for exploring/hiking. I was so busy taking in the sights that I even did a full face plant on one hike. Emmaline and Emily throughly enjoyed that! We ended the day …
