Minimalist Mindset
Last weekend we managed to squeeze in a trip in Discovery. We found a hidden gem of a state park only three hours outside the summer kiln of Dallas / Fort Worth. We lounged lakeside enjoying the thrill of doing… Read More ›
The Road Ahead
For our latest trip in Discovery, I wrote a fairly general post about encountering difficulties along the way. I’d meant to give my typical Captain’s Log entry (or First Officer…there’s likely some debate and a brewing mutiny) but as… Read More ›

Giving It All Away
