Travel & outdoors
Before kids, we visited every national park in the Lower 48. Now we’re exploring Texas one state park at a time—with plenty of city weekends, family visits, and farther-away adventures along the way. These are the notes we’d send a friend before they go.
01One park at a time
We’re setting out to visit every Texas state park as a family, collecting the details we would want before each trip: how long to stay, which trails are worth it, where to stop along the drive, and what we would do differently next time.

02The Lower 48
Before kids, we visited every national park in the Lower 48. This is where we’re gathering the photographs, routes, favorite trails, missed turns, and park-by-park knowledge from that journey—and adding a new family perspective as we return.

03Near, far, and in between
This is the home for weekend drives, domestic cities, international travel, and trips shaped by visiting friends and family. We’ll share the places we genuinely loved, the pace that felt right, what was worth reserving, and what we would skip next time.
