on our trip the night before to boquillas canyon, we pulled down a side road that leads to a spot that you can cross the rio grande (legally) and go visit a little town in mexico, called boquillas del carmen. the crossing is only open wednesdays through sunday, so we decided to make a go […]

big bend. boquillas canyon.
we made the long haul from del rio to big bend last saturday. we wasted no time getting out and about and exploring. as soon as we were set up and settled in, we went back out to nearby boquillas canyon. (big bend is HUGE and nothing is actually very “near by” – but this […]
medina lake, the second half.
our second half of our stay at medina lake has been pretty boring. we are tired of the long drive to go do things. so we have stuck around the camper mostly. not much to see here… some facetime with old friends. with a photobomber. we bought a new game. ticket to ride. the usa […]
one last trip to san antonio.
last sunday, we made one last mad dash into san antonio. we wanted to do a bit of river walking in the more downtown section of the river. and check out some shops and such. you know. and eat. one of the reasons we haven’t gone into town more is the insanity of the roadwork. […]
medina lake, the first half.
when i started this post, we were at the halfway mark of our stay at medina lake rv resort. (when i imported the photos, they were completely out of order, so i got frustrated and quit and turned the computer over for several viewings of moana and about 50 how to draw youtube videos). but […]

san antonio missions.
we are currently staying about an hour west of texas. after settling in last friday, we headed into town to see some sites and take in some history. we knew that we wanted to get the kids started on their junior ranger badges for the mission san jose national historical park, so first we went […]
austin, day two.
we started our day two in austin by enjoying our free continental breakfast at the hotel. i determined that texas is the only state that would have it’s own waffle (and waffle iron, by extension). our first actual stop on day two was mount bonnell. it’s a little park, where you can walk up 97 […]
austin, day one.
for the last week and a half, we have been in columbus, texas, which is basically in the middle of nowhere. look for a riveting post on that soon. we are, however, about an hour and a half from austin, so we got a hotel this weekend and had ourselves a little vacation. without further […]
new orleans, part two.
when i left off, we were just getting back from our “creole queen” riverboat adventure. we pick up the story on the walk back from the streetcar, near our hotel, where a local music shop had these really cool lego diorama of a mardi graw parade in its window. i narrowed it down to three […]
