Matt’s parents joined us for a trip to Austin to spend Thanksgiving together and celebrate a family wedding.
Read MoreLighting 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. An event happened to be held in Ennis, near Dallas, and they offered onsite RV camping. It was the best of both worlds as we floated our scripture scribed lanterns upward then returned […]
