Vanlife: Roadtrip From New Mexico to Utah

January 27, 2025

Drive Time 7.5 hours Miles Driven 480 miles Final Location Yellow Circle BLM Land 38°26’09.2″N 109°25’40.6″W Second Leg, Road to Moab We said goodbye to the wonderful truck stop, TA Center and headed toward Moab, Utah, for our second stop of our 4 day road trip from Texas to Oregon. We felt a rush of excitement and just a hint of nerves as we left familiar roads behind, ready to experience life on the highway. Why are we heading to Oregon, you ask? Well, it’s all for some van flooring. We found a USA Company named DIY Van who installs composite insulated flooring — all in one piece. So that meant driving over 2,000 miles in our van, which made it our longest road trip

Vanlife: Caddo Lake State Park

January 5, 2025

Welcome to our Caddo Lake State Park blog! We didn’t pick this place, but boy was it a great state park. 10/10 highly recommend. For a brief run down, the park was easy to get to and close to town if we needed anything. It was very clean and well maintained and a really great bathroom (that was heated!!). Read more on the specifics below about Caddo Lake State Park and what we did when we were there! Let’s start it off preparing to get on the road. Usually I’m (Danielle) very much on top of planning way in advance. I have the van ready, groceries packed, everything done in advance, except for this time. This trip, we wanted to leave around 11 and we

Aguadilla, Puerto Rico Travel Guide

July 22, 2024

How did we get to stay for 30 days Honestly, it’s all about who you know that made this possible for us. We had a family member who is currently in the Army and stationed in Puerto Rico invite us to stay as long as we want. We might have taken a little advantage of being there a month, but honestly it wasn’t enough time with her. She had to travel quiet a bit while we were there for work, so out of the 30 days we were there, we probably one saw her maybe 10 days – at the most while we were there. While we were there and she wasn’t we basically got to live like locals in Aguadilla, PR. Moral of the

Experience St. Petersburg

June 10, 2024

Traveling Through St. Petersburg We had the pleasure of having a good friend live in St. Petersburg and graciously let us keep our van in her backyard as we went on our first cruise. She showed us some pretty cool places while we were there for a few days and there are still so many more places we want to visit.  4 Reasons Why The Pier is a great place to Visit in St. Petersburg Fishing  Whether you are a fishing pro or a casual caster, the pier offers a designated fishing deck. The fishing deck provides easy access to the waters of Tampa Bay with great opportunities to catch a variety of fish. Family Friendly For families, there is a playground and a splash

Exploring Fort Worth Texas

Exploring Fort Worth, Texas

May 15, 2024

What’s So Awesome About Fort Worth? Not only is it our current hometown, but it has a rich history. One thing I love about Fort Worth is keeping it’s western Cowboy culture so prevalent in everything.  The Stockyards where they still herd the cattle through the streets of Fort Worth twice a day! There is also a more modern part of Fort Worth that has a really cool rooftop restaurant right next to Sundance Square. There is so much more to do in Fort Worth than these few things, but these are just some of our favorites. The Stockyards Unique Accommodation Experience a one-of-a-kind stay where old charm meets modern comfort. Right in the bustling heart of Fort Worth’s historic Stockyards. Heart of the Herd

Vanlife: Eisenhower State Park Blog

May 8, 2024

Our first night in the van at Eisenhower State Park Located right on the border of Texas and Oklahoma, right off Lake Texoma. What was suppose to be a quick day trip to hang out with my mom turned into our first night in the van! With nothing in it but an air mattress, we survived our first night. But not really that comfortably, our air mattress had a hole. LOL. About an hour and a half north of DFW, this is a pretty nice state park to visit. The park is filled with hiking trails and really nice campsites with clean bathrooms. We ended up doing a 3 mile hike that lead to a beautiful overlook. I would recommend everyone to check out this

Calibishie Village Dominica

Our Stay in Calibishie

April 27, 2024

Why We Picked Calibishie We had been researching Dominica at this point, but we very still pretty green – but ready for adventure. We didn’t know at the time, but we picked the best village to start our trip, Calibishie! A small village located just 20 minutes from the airport on the north east part of the island. Calibishie has multiple places to stays with locals and a few restaurants within walking distances. It’s also perfect location for a lot of cool places like the Red Rocks and Bantiou Beach.  During our stay at Sandbar, we met our host – Christie. We can’t wait to go back and visit with her again, she was the best host and was so sweet. She painted us a

Eagle Mountain Feature

Eagle Mountain Park Blog

April 21, 2024

Why We Love Eagle Mountain Park! This is our favorite local hiking trail in the DFW area. If we want to do something that is familiar and comfortable, we will always go to Eagle Mountain Park! If you’re looking for a fun hike in the Fort Worth area, look no further than Eagle Mountain Park. One thing we love about this place is that there are 3 options for hiking, depending on what you are feeling. First, there is an easy almost 2 mile hike towards the right side of the entrance, perfect for smaller kids. Second, is a 5 mile trail that heads to the left, a little more challenge but still a great hike. If you want to combine the whole park, you
