Aguadilla, Puerto Rico Travel Guide

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

Forks, WA: More Than Twilight

Why Forks, Washington? In our opinion, there are a million reasons on why Forks should be on your bucket list, but our favorite reason is the scenery! Scroll down to see some of our favorite pictures from Forks. We can’t get over the hiking trails, rivers and waterfalls and mountain backdrops. It’s also a short drive to the Pacific Coast. Twilight Forks, Washington is home of the infamous book/movie series “Twilight”. When you explore the area, it’s easy to see why a moody vampire series would be located in the PNW. Not only did the movies pick the best small town to place the story in – but it also helped the town’s economy. Even though the books came out in the early mid 2000’s

Exploring Fort Worth, Texas

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

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
