Artesian Cellars
Before heading to Death Valley, we stopped in Pahrump, Nevada for a quick stop to recharge our batteries and grab a bite to eat.
Las Vegas | Outdoors
Las Vegas isn’t all gambling and booze. Less than 30 minutes outside of town are some of the most beautiful mountain views. Be sure to check out Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon.
Las Vegas | City Life
We rang in the new year in Vegas! It was wonderful spending time visiting my brother, Caleb, and exploring the city that never sleeps.
Sun City
With Christmas right around the corner, we decided to swing by Sun City to take a break from the road and spend some time with family.
San Elizario
This is by far the friendliest town we’ve visited so far on our journey. The locals welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home.
Big Bend National Park
With over 90 hiking trails, this National Park is a “must-visit” for every nature and hiking enthusiast.
Governor’s Landing Campground
We lucked out finding a spot at this first come, first serve campground! Our days were a bit gray and foggy, and then we had a camper mishap…
Mustang Island State Park
This state park close by was a great place to dump, even though it was a bit of an emergency stop for us.
Holiday Beach
Port Aransas knows how to treat their tourists. Free stay on the beach (off-season) and plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from.
Lake Corpus Christi State Park
Full-service hookup babay! Can’t beat a nice hot shower.
Crystal Beach
This was a great, unpopulated beach where you can drive right up to the ocean.
Lake Tom Bailey
The week leading up to our departure date, Ohio decided it needed to snow and drop below freezing.
