We left early Sunday morning headed for north Louisiana to stay with my aunt and uncle for a couple nights. On the way out we stopped by an overlook I’d been wanting to see. The concierge said you could see for 50 miles on a clear day. I think we must have stopped at the…

Now I’m a couple days behind but I have caught up on a little sleep at least, even if I haven’t caught up on posting. Saturday we didn’t get up as quickly as we had for bear day, both of us were dragging. It was another double Starbucks morning. We had been considering the extra…

Well if follow us on social media you’ve seen “her”. A tribute to Amanda’s donor, our photo prop turned travel companion. It’s a framed wood base with a metal heart and wings with “Becasue of an Organ Donor on it” and Amanda’s transplant date. We’ve toted her everywhere snapping pictures as we go. It’s been…

Still a day late in posting so this is Thursdays report. We took out early again to not miss any daylight. Heading south to hike waterfalls at 3 different state parks. First was Burgess falls with 3 separate falls, it was a nice hike about 2 miles out and back but we made it a…

Sorry this one’s a little behind, I needed sleep. I was tired, drop my phone on my face kind of tired! We’ve been up early and to bed late and pretty much gone all daylight hours so far. It was great smoky mountains national park day yesterday. Tuesday was west of where we are staying…

We started off the morning swinging by the concierge to grab our welcome packet with all the resort information. We followed that with some Starbucks to kick the day off. Then setting out for a couple waterfalls about 50 miles away. These curvy roads are no joke it took a couple hours on back roads…

We started the morning off a little later than planned but not by much. Straight to the beach, there weren’t many people there only a few. It was cool and windy but not bad, I enjoyed but Amanda was a little cold by the time we left. We were much more awake today with the…

Today was a full day of driving! Last night we stayed at our second home, our usual medical center hotel. We didn’t see any of our regulars while checking in or out though. We planned to hit the beach in the evening so I was going to wear shorts but opted for something a little…

We were up early to get ready and load the car, we hadn’t loaded a thing up the night before. We ended up having our out of town friends crash on our couches, our spare bedrooms aren’t done yet. Well actually their old couches we bought from them when they moved! The dogs were excited…

I don’t know how fiscally responsible this trip is but we needed to celebrate a win! We’ll be staying on points earned from our long stay in Houston after the transplant and we’re going to be hitting up state parks for hiking and cooking a lot of our meals so it’s not like it’s a…
