Lake Mineral Wells State Park | Texas

I’m so excited to bring you along on another Texas State Park adventure. This time, my dog Audi and I took a girls-only day trip 1.5 hours west of Dallas to Lake Mineral Wells State Park. Once we passed Fort Worth it was clear that we were already in “cattle country” and endless ranches lined […]

You may have started following this blog for the Minnesota State Park content. My boyfriend and I were on a mission to visit every state park in Minnesota and in three years we made it to over half.

A Weekend in California: Wedding, Waffles and Walks.

With a landscape as vast and diverse as the state of California, you’d think someone with a travel blog based in the United States would have spent more time there but I’ve honestly only been there a few times and always in major cities like San Francisco or San Diego.
