The family and I adventured over to Caddo Lake for an overnight trip. We took an awesome boat tour which convinced us we want to go back for a canoe adventure. Unfortunately Brian and I came home with a case of food poisoning that hit…
Just a photo dump of some of the beautiful flowers in Hawaii. Brian took TONS of pictures of the vegetation because that is what he is into but definitely those are not as interesting to the general population as the flowers.
Being a self proclaimed bird nerd I was most excited about visiting Kilauea Lighthouse and seeing all the cliff dwelling seabirds. However when we got to Kauai I wasn’t able to get tickets. We stopped one of our first days on the island and I…
One of the big things I wanted to do on our trip was attend a luau however COVID messed up that plan. Many of the luaus were closed and the few that were open had very limited capacity. I stumbled upon an event called Allerton…

On the south shore of Kauai we visited Spouting Horn blowhole. Waves are forced under the lava shelf and spew through a hole in the shelf. Way cool! I could have watched it forever. We also drove up through Waimea Canyon to Kokee State Park.…

A large part of Kauai is not accessible by car so an air or boat tour is the only way to see some of the beautiful beaches, coastal cliffs, and waterfalls. Wings over Kauai gave us a phenomenal tour even with a few clouds. There…
Brian came home a few months back sharing how a co-worker was telling him all about how amazing Hawaii was and he thought we should take a vacation there. I definitely was not going to argue with him and got to work making it happen…
We visited a friend’s farm today and came home with a whole lamb worth of different meat cuts. I see lamb chops in my future. He raises turkeys, lambs, goats, and has bee hives. It was a nice excursion to the country!
