On the road again

The West Coast…our next frontier. After spending a few months in Florida, we packed up our things, along with the pups, and made for the west on Monday. Well, to be exact we headed north first, making a stop at our friend Megan’s, in Tallahassee, for two nights. When we pulled into the driveway we found her cute little duplex nestled in the dense trees of green and spring. That evening we sat around, sipping beer while fervently talking about our trip we have planned…Megan is a bit of an adventurista herself, so we poured over maps, and shared factoids on the different states we clump into the category of “out west.”

The next day Megan headed to work while Ryan and I explored a nearby park, with the dogs in-tow.  Upon entering Tom Brown park, the sign proclaimed “best park” and the winding road took us through tall trees, past a huge lake with a board walk, leading us to an enclosed dog park. We let the dogs tire themselves out and explored the park some more before heading back. When Megan got home from work we went back to the park to play some disc golf and eat our dinner, picnic-style, on one of the many rolling hills.

Wednesday morning we packed up and truly started the trek west. To break up the drive a bit, we stopped for a night and camped at Tickfaw State Park in Louisiana. The park was probably nice, but we really only had time to set up camp and eat dinner before crawling into our sleeping bags after driving all day. The next morning was an equally long drive, but well worth it, considering we were arriving at our first farm, Nabuni Acres, in Lockhart, Texas!

Thanks Megan for an awesome time,

“Happy trails to you, until we meet again.”
