We joined up with my family in Austin for a short but sweet family vacation over the 4th of July weekend. My parents rented an amazing lakehouse on Lake Travis (which somehow I failed to capture in pictures- sorry, Beverly). Probably the best thing about the condo, besides the view of the lake and access [...]
Topping off a string of weekend travel, Annie and I camped recently in Rocky Mountain National Park with friends from our church.
