Blog postSeaweed covered rocks along the coast.
Chris and I have been in New Hampshire for about a month and a half now. And yes, we've been freezing the whole time. After having lived in Texas for six years, even temperatures in the 60s leave us shivering. Needless to say, as soon as the local temps passed 75 we headed to the beach!
I've often told people unfamiliar with my home state that living in New Hampshire i

Blog postTucker Falls. Photo print available here.
Chris and I have been in New Hampshire for just over 3 weeks now. The two of us were finally able to explore some local trails yesterday. In spring, the state becomes a destination for waterfalls due to melting snow and ice. I wasn't really up for the long drive that would be required to visit some of the state's most beloved waterfalls, so I suggested that the two

Blog postCovered bridge at Wason Pond in Chester, NH.
For the past 6 years, my wife and I have made Austin, Texas our home. Earlier this year, the two of us decided it had come time to head north. I grew up in southern New Hampshire. My family lives here. It had always been a part of our plan. So, when the lease on our Austin apartment was up, we uprooted ourselves and began the long trek to New England.
The two of

Blog postTo most people, yesterday was Black Friday, a consumerist holiday that it seems like nearly every American store in existence participates in. Even pet stores have Black Friday sales. I remember all of our efforts at Petsmart while I worked there, getting hyped up about how great our sales would be. We would spend hours merchandising and getting things ready only to be sorely disappointed by sales by the end of the day. My attitude toward this tradition and toward consumerism in general has chan

Blog postChris and I had a wonderful time today hiking a loop of trails at the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. The area we ventured to is called Doeskin Ranch. While the refuge has a number of trails that are smaller in size, we opted to take portions of each trail and essentially travel a large loop around the area.
Doeskin Ranch TrailheadApproximately 45 minutes from Austin, it is easy to get to. We didn't even use the GPS, just maps. Signs direct you to where you need to go. Very -

Blog postAustin recently opened a new portion of the Violet Crown, a trail which winds along through the Austin Greenbelt. A couple of weeks ago, Chris and I visited for the first time.
Visitors should note that the new trailhead does not have its own parking lot. You're advised to park at a nearby shopping plaza. Get directions to 4970 W Hwy 290 and park in the Spec's lot close to the frontage road. The trailhead is just slightly east from there on foot.
This is what the entrance looks -
Blog postChris walked in the footsteps of an earlier traveler until we reached quite the scenic view!
We're quickly coming up on our first wedding anniversary! October 12th! Eek! When I first started this blog I had a feeling I wouldn't be updating it as much as I'd like. I never expected, however, for it to take a year to finally finish writing about our honeymoon. I should have known better, but it is what it is.
While Chris and I are adventurous types we are also the kind of folks w -
Blog postEven though many months have passed since our final day in New Mexico, I still recall the events of our visit to the Very Large Array. When we last left you, Chris and I had spent the evening staring into space (literally) at an Earthship rental in Taos, New Mexico. When we awoke the next morning we packed the car and headed south. Our schedule did not permit us to see any sights while in Taos (very unfortunate) but we drove through the town on the way out of dodge. It seems like a neat place.

Blog postWhen Chris and I first started planning our wedding one of the first things we did regarding the honeymoon was book one night in an Earthship in Taos, New Mexico. Chris's coworker mentioned it to her. We took a look at the Earthship Biotecture website and made our reservation about two months into planning our trip. Yes, we were THAT excited about it.
I have been a huge nerd for Earthships since I was a teenager. Truth be told, I spent my summer vacation at age 16 researching eco-fr -
Blog postWhile Bandelier National Monument was relaxing and inviting, Chris and I were most definitely interested in additional exploration when it came to cliff dwellings and New Mexico's historic sites. Our schedule permitted us one destination on Tuesday. We could choose to visit the Taos Pueblo or Puye Cliff Dwellings. Although the Pueblo is supposed to be pretty spectacular, Chris and I are wary of crowds. The Taos Pueblo is a very popular place. Although it's filled with authentic Native American a

Blog postFor anyone interested, I thought I should compile a complete list of resources for anyone who may want to replicate our destination wedding! As mentioned previously, Chris and I had a vegan wedding in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We planned everything ourselves with much help from our moms. I had a very difficult time with everything and any help I can provide to others attempting something similar could be valuable. So, here goes.
Venue
Hyde Memorial State Park
It cost $500 fo -
Blog postChris and I visited Bastrop State Park today for a nice hike. It's been a few weeks since the last time we went exploring and Chris was really itching to get out there. Her goal for the both of us is to one day backpack so the sooner we start training, the better.
Several years ago, wild fires destroyed homes, land, and public areas throughout Bastrop. The state park stands as evidence. Regrowth is happening, but it will be decades before the park is normal again.

Blog postA very, very long time ago, Chris and I lived in Elkins, West Virginia. In 2008, the two of us drove 1-2 hours to visit the Green Bank Radio Astronomy Observatory located in the same state. I was a nerd-in-training then so the immensity of its importance didn't strike me at the time, but I still found the experience worth remembering. And I had fun taking pictures.
You are not allowed to use digital photography close up, so this is the best photo I got. The sun was setting. It made everyth -
Blog postTry as we might, Chris and I got a late start on the first day of our honeymoon. Our tire surprised us with a nice, little leak! Awesome! Also, family were starting to leave town. We ate a nice breakfast, had coffee, packed up, and headed out to Tesuque to explore some ruins.
Except... we could not find the right place to go and our phones weren't able to get a good enough internet signal to find advice on Google.
Plan B (you should always have a plan B) was Bandelier N -
Blog postIt is only sensible that the first story I share with our readers be the one of our wedding day. While we have been adventuring for many years together already, it is the point at which this particular expedition really began. The two of us started planning our big day in January. We had a few options we could choose from; we could have a symbolic ceremony in Texas and eventually have a legal ceremony elsewhere, we could elope to a location where same-sex marriage is legal, or we could have a s

Blog postIn 2006 I first laid eyes upon my one and only. After two years as friends, the two of us began dating long distance. About two months later we had had enough of that. I moved to West Virginia from Austin, Texas and the rest simply fell into place.
Six years later, we decided to finally make it official. In true adventurer fashion we opted for a destination wedding. Our friends and families met us in Santa Fe, New Mexico to watch us exchange vows and to celebrate the years with us.
