You know what it is like to come across some shots you forgot you had? Here are a few that I found from back in 2005. These shots are a result of an hour long stretch in the dessert. We just kept taking shots, playing with the exposure time and worrying if we would get hit. It was a fun morning.

Pecos, Texas was the first town in Texas we stopped in.  It was lunch time and we were thirsty, so we started looking around.  This is a pretty small town with a population of under 10,000, so finding a place to eat wasn’t that easy.  Turns out there are only eight places to eat he…

This was going to be the last day in Dallas and I had to take Jaime touring the downtown area. Our first stop was the White Rock Lake, taking advantage that Mother Nature gave us some time without rain. The lake is nice and beautiful, and we enjoyed taking a walk there. Unfortunately we saw there w…

We love to camp!  However theres only so many smores you can eat, and only so many camp songs you can take!  So, when we camp we look for places that have a lot to do or are nearby places where there is alot to do.  This is especially important with kids, otherwise you get …

This place is just huge. I really enjoyed taking sometime to walk around and check out all the local items for sale. I think I was a bit mislead thinking that this would be a true farmers market. there were aspects of the market that I really enjoyed, and other parts that I felt were a bit too comm…

  Dallas – I Wanna Go Home With The Armadillo   In my opinion, Texas has better songs written about it than any place in our country. I can’t even begin to list all of the great tunes that mention some aspect of the Lone Star State. Instead, on the next three pages, I’ll include…

July 13, 2009   This is my third trip to Amarillo. On the previous two trips (2004 & 2005), we mostly visited with Aunt Murrel. We spent a few hours at Wonderland Park and 10 minutes at the Cadillac Ranch, but I never felt like we did much. So this time, even though we had only a single …

This day was a little bit weird. After a quiet and uneventful Friday, I was expecting a much better Saturday. We were going to see the Astros Play in the evening so I had good expectations. Well, I woke up kinda late and I went to the same cyber cafe that I reviewed for the previous day. My car sta…

  San Antonio - Find the Alamo, Sightsee & Enjoy Chinese Lunch   The next morning, we decided to tour the Alamo. After our trouble locating our hotel the day before, we hoped we wouldn’t have too difficult of a time finding it.   After looking at several maps, it fina…

The Class Where Terroir Meets Tradition was the class at the wine fest that David and I met up. We all got a quiz on the word “TERROIR.” Not many passed, but we learned what it meant by the end of the class. A little challenge for all of you out there. The opportunity to meet another TravBuddy …

After the Ride is over people usually head first for a shower, and then to one of two places:  either the massage tent where masseurs and masseuses are waiting to help rub those sore muscles and help make the aches go away; or to the pool created by Krause Springs.  The Springs are especi…
