We couldn’t have been more thrilled to have our next step be Tucson, Arizona. Shane and I love Arizona but hadn’t been this far south before and after experiencing (and surviving) the Polar Vortex in Texas, the desert of Arizona was more welcomed than ever. On my quest to check off new National Parks, I had planned this part of the trip to visit Saguaro National Park. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Downtown Tucson is nearby. We love getting to experience nature while being in such ... Read More about Two or More Days in Tucson, Arizona

Pitstop: Prada Marfa, Texas
After departing Big Bend National Park, we avoided the interstate and opted for the scenic route. I had mentioned to Shane that I wanted to see this funny building I know from Instagram but didn't want to plan a trip around it. Coincidentally, as we were route planning for the day ahead, Shane realized we would drive right by it. Prada Marfa.

Hiking Big Bend National Park, Texas
Second to my goal to visit every state is to visit every National Park. Our RV trip was largely based on the lure of visiting every park.

It’s where Texas State Highway 118 dead ends and you see Mexico as ... Read More about Hiking Big Bend National Park, Texas
Kolaches, Migas Tacos, and More in Austin, Texas
Austin, Texas was our first big city stop on our road trip adventure. I asked my Instagram friends for their Austin suggestions and they did not disappoint. I received a ton of messages with everyone’s favorite restaurants which Shane and I did our best to check off. There’s a ton to do in Austin and things are pretty spread out; so instead of writing this post day-by-day, I’m going to organize it by neighborhood. SOUTH CONGRESS We strolled South Congress Avenue to start our ... Read More about Kolaches, Migas Tacos, and More in Austin, Texas
A Day At Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas
Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas was everything I had dreamed of. This town has been on my bucket list for quite some time for exactly the reason you’d expect: an obsession with Joanna and Chip Gaines. What they’ve created at Magnolia Market at the Silos is a design haven and interiors Disney World. They’ve completely taken over two blocks in Downtown Waco, walking distance to the Central Business District, and developed a district of their own. Seriously, there’s even wayfinding signage ...
