And The Adventures Just Keep Coming
After all that beach camping in Florida (which you can read about here and here), I was pretty excited at the opportunity to do it in Texas, and for free. I’ve mentioned FreeCampsites.net before, and they haven’t generally steered us wrong. Well. Here’s the link so you can read the descriptions for yourself, if you…

Battleships and Southern Cooking

We made it to the Keys!
