Hard to believe that it has been since November of 2018 that we checked in and wrote on our blog. I have never really kept a diary or any type of travel journal in the past making the blog something that does not cross my mind unless it pops up on my Todoist app…
Finally! Our first weekend, destination trip to Galveston, TX. We had been planning the trip for months, it seems, only to have one thing after another go haywire. First it turned from a family vacation into hanging out with friends. Then the engine decided to go out a few weeks prior after a day…
Wow, where have the last four months gone? I’m not real sure, but a lot has happened in that time. Hopefully this will serve has a catch up, and we will start keeping you more up-to-date with more frequent updates again. So, what have we been up to? Well, mostly we’ve been sailing and…

Since Pete was adopted in 2005, he has had to make quite a few adjustments in his life. He was adopted in Birmingham, Alabama and has since lived in Arkansas, New Mexico, Colorado and now Texas. He has been able to camp and hike in the Ozarks of Arkansas, Wasatch Range of Utah…
