Lighting Up Lantern Fest

The Lantern Fest is a one-of-kind experience where thousands of people gather to send decorated paper lanterns into the night sky.

We flew to Atlanta to purchase “Theo” with little experience driving an RV (remember that one rental a couple of years ago ;). Thankfully, the drive back to Dallas was pretty much a straight shot on I-20. We took our time and enjoyed the cross-country maiden voyage but knew that […]

About a year after we rented an RV, we had had another baby and were looking for a way to have some family camping weekends out of the city. We decided to get a travel trailer to ease our way into the RV lifestyle. Turns out we enjoyed it enough that after […]
