The excitement of discovery is what draws us to wander. Our travels have taken us to the far corners of our home state of Texas as well as the diversity of the fascinating states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Florida and Massachusetts.
Join us here as we share some of the special moments we have encountered through our photos and essays.

Mission Tejas
First the mission, a commemorative representation of the original Mission San Francisco de los Tejas. This was the 1st Spanish Mission in the then province of Texas established in 1690. It was built by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) in 1934. It’s location near the campground gives you a good chance to take plenty of pictures.
