Mike and I have been keeping a close eye on the recent developments of Hurricane Irma which is barreling towards the Caribbean and Florida. We are currently in Central Florida, near the Orlando area, making some alterations to the bus and riding out our current “broke-ness” with family. Pretty much…
South Padre Island is lovely. It’s a giant pain in the ass to get to. After we left San Antonio we headed further south to South Padre Island which sits on the Gulf Coast near the Texas-Mexico border. We ended up having to make a detour into Corpus Christi to…
After we walked/drove around Waco (where one RV park owner told us that he “didn’t want us lowering his environment” once we told him we had a converted school bus) we headed south to San Antonio. When we had started planning (and I use that word very loosely) we knew…
After the Waco Mammoths we decided to explore the city a little and, in particular, there was a bridge that Mike wanted to see. The Waco Mammoths are a little ways outside of town and we had passed a huge park on our way in so we stopped there on…
After we left Arlington, we headed south to Waco, TX. We had been to Waco once before and clearly didn’t see the nice part of town (it was a night and day difference). We went primarily to see the Waco Mammoths. The Waco Mammoths is a National Monument and a…
We are finally (FINALLY!) leaving north Texas. The semester is done and there is nothing keeping us here anymore. Freedom! So, we’ve decided that since it’s unlikely that we’ll be going through Texas again anytime in the (even remote) future that we should get all of our sightseeing done. So we…
Mike and I are no strangers to severe weather. We grew up in Florida where afternoon thunderstorms are the norm during the spring, summer, fall…we get a brief break during “winter”. So we have a lot of experience with different types of severe weather and that combined with my general…
We recently had 2 separate groups of family come out from Florida to visit us in North Texas. Back to back. It was awesome 🙂 First, Mike’s mom came to visit. She arrived on a Sunday and left the following Wednesday. We had a grand ole time. We went out…
We are completely, totally, 100% insane. We have family coming to visit at the end of the month and what did we decide to do a week and a half out? Tear almost everything out. Without finishing the bathroom first. So the bathroom is in disarray and is half tiled.…
Guys, weather is hard. Like really hard. We’re figuring out that we will be hot when it’s hot outside and we will be cold when it’s cold outside. We are starting to get the hang of it and we do plan on implementing some changes to our winterization of the…
