Just as the family was getting used to our daily bike rides, Kristi hit her derailer on a stick when we were on a trail ride and snapped that thing in half. It even twisted her chain so her rear wheel wouldn’t move. In fact, the derailer (usually hangs below the cassette on the backContinue reading “Week 2 – Bike fixes, More deer, school, etc.”

Day 10 – Almost normal day
Now that we are posted up for at least a week we need to get back on a school and work routine. So today we did just that. Except the kids have been begging to go feed the deer again now that we are refilled on carrots. So after dinner we went on a trailContinue reading “Day 10 – Almost normal day”
Day 9 – San Antonio: The Alamo, The Buckhorn, River Tour & Deer Food
We wanted to take advantage of the weekend so we decided to go to downtown San Antonio on Sunday. Our “must do” list was river walk, The Alamo and by my brothers recommendation, the Buckhorn Saloon. GORIO River Tour We arrived and first hopped on a GORIO river tour. The tour was shorter than expectedContinue reading “Day 9 – San Antonio: The Alamo, The Buckhorn, River Tour & Deer Food”
Day 8 – Biking with deer in Hill Country
My kids and I are both enjoying and agonizing over the hills in the campground when riding our bikes around. It feels great going down the hills but burns climbing them as Harper accurately put it. Being Floridians, we barely get to see any kind of hills. That said, Brayden already loves biking (as doContinue reading “Day 8 – Biking with deer in Hill Country”
Day 7 – Drive to San Antonio
After a long drive we are getting disciplined about taking a day or two to recoup and explore the new campground. The last drive again wasn’t the easiest. Roads were under construction in a couple of spots and there was a pretty heavy cross wind for the first half of the 4 hours that madeContinue reading “Day 7 – Drive to San Antonio”
Day 6 – Margaritaville with friends
Today was a great day. We spent most of it with our good friends Taylor, Elexis, and their kids Bentley, Nash and McKenzie. Margaritaville Jimmy Buffett just renovated a resort on lake Conroe to turn it into a Margaritaville and the kids spent the day in the lazy River and splash pad, followed by aContinue reading “Day 6 – Margaritaville with friends”
Day 5 – Houston Space Center
We want to do something fun at each of our main stops. Since we are space nerds, Space Center Houston and Johnson Space Center was a natural “must do.” The highlights from the visit were the following 747 and Shuttle We got to go inside of both. This was sweet as Kris and I areContinue reading “Day 5 – Houston Space Center”
Days 3 and 4 – Rest in East Texas
We finally arrived to our destination outside of Houston TX. The drive was long must mostly easy until the last day. From Lafayette, LA the roads and traffic were bad so it made for some focused driving and not much cruise control. Two funny stories: Bumpy roads We thought we were home clear of theContinue reading “Days 3 and 4 – Rest in East Texas”
Day 2 – Lafayette, LA
Today was a long day of driving today since we left late yesterday, and wanted to keep our initial check in day at our first campground in Conroe, TX. We stopped at another Cracker Barrel (how awesome is that) but this time in Lafayette, LA. We are really looking forward to our first campground tomorrowContinue reading “Day 2 – Lafayette, LA”
Day 1 – Tallahassee, FL
Today we finally got everything packed up and hit the road this evening. Target: Tallahassee. After a busy few weeks home – between dentist appointments, doctors, work stuff, a couple of birthday bashes, and the kids getting sick for a couple of days, we were ready to hit the road! We left around 6:30 pmContinue reading “Day 1 – Tallahassee, FL”
