I want to begin by saying that in no way do I claim to be a professional travel blogger or photographer so everything that will be posted here is for us to record our memories or keep our friends/families updated on what we do (hi mom) since I’m terrible at posting stuff on social media. 

In 2016 Alan and I have completed several weekend road trips within the state of Texas.

1. Houston: to visit one of our friends
2. San Antonio: to celebrate an elopement
3. Austin: to enjoy the Fourth of July holiday (aka America’s Birthday) 

In addition to our little road trips, Alan has been to Costa Rica for a “study abroad” trip where all he really did was bask in the tropical sun (and humidity). Back in May, he started the summer by visiting his friend, Armel in sunny California which is the inspiration for the ultimate road trip we are about to embark on.

This Christmas I asked Alan not to buy gifts for me because what I really want-spending time together-can’t be wrapped and placed under a tree. 

Instead we decided to go on the mother of all road trips. In the next 10 days, we’ll go from Dallas to New Mexico to Arizona to California and back.  

The first stop from College Station going to Dallas is in Corsicana to grab a fruit cake and some cookies from the Collin Street Bakery. Yum! 

Stay tuned for what comes next.
