We are excited about our upcoming trip, a road trip that will likely total over 5000 miles. The destination is Yellowstone and Grand Teton Nationals parks, then the San Juan mountains in Colorado. It’s fair to say this will be a mountainous trip. We set out on Saturday, which just so happens to be Amanda’s…

We’d planned to be off not too early on Tuesday but wanted to meet a friend in Dallas around noon. In typical southern fashion my aunt couldn’t let us leave hungry even though I’d told her we don’t eat breakfast! Fried eggs toast and jam, I’d already been bad so what the heck. I had…

We both slept in Monday but I got up a bit before Amanda. I went outside by the pool to write on a post looking for a dog to pet. My aunt is a dog lover and helps rescue them. She’s always had a ton since I was little, at one time up to 15…

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…
