Pinhoti Trail Hike Heflin, Alabama
We love to hike! It is mostly free and great exercise! Plus, you get to see beautiful parts of the country that you wouldn’t get to see from traveling the roadway! This last week we traveled to the Talladega National Forest and hiked part of the Pinhoti Trail near Heflin, Alabama. I say part of because the trail itself is part of the Southern Appalachian long distance hiking trail. The trail we hiked was 5 miles of the full 335 mile trail! We began planning our Pinhoti Trail hike online over at www.pinhotitrailalliance.org, where maps, history, and activities can be found. From Oxford, Alabama we initial traveled to what we thought was…

Stone Mountain Park Christmas: Stone Mountain, Georgia
A few weeks ago we had the fabulous privilege to go to Stone Mountain Park Christmas festival in Stone Mountain Georgia while visiting some friends! We did not know what to expect, but let me tell you… this place far surpassed anything we could have imagined! This barn had a THREE STORY jungle-gym complete with slides and foam ball shooters for the kids to completely wear themselves out at… and for some of the parents to take a seat and relax! Once the sky’s turned dark they lights lit up… the whole “town” was glowing beautifully and it was so festive! Couple that with random carolers and you have some…

Cheaha State Park offers a unique opportunity for home school families. Along the trail there are numerous information kiosks that identify geophysical and biological features of the area. Whether traveling for exercise or education, it is definitely an exciting trip that we will make again. While “off the…

Winter Storm Atlas: Cheyenne, Wyoming
[wp_ad_camp_2] Winter Storm Atlas was forecasted to bring us lots of snow here in Cheyenne! We spent the days before playing in the sun, getting the RV ready for the freezing temperatures and preparing for the snow! Fortunately it wasn’t as bad as it was forecast, but these Texans still got to have a little snowy fun! The night before the boys set bowls out to catch fresh snow so that we could make some snow-treats! First, we made snow-cream! There are a lot of different recipes for this, but I used what I had on hand! Ingredients: Fresh SNOW, Sweetened condensed milk and Maple Syrup! The boys added some…

It always amazed me that when I get around to taking normal pictures how much the boys have grown on the road!
