Seashells in the Snow {Assateague & Chincoteague in Winter}

Our first real family vacation with a baby is in the books! It was fun, exhausting, and VERY COLD. We stayed on Chincoteague Island and visited a beach on Assateague as well.

Prairie Dogs & Rocky Hikes {Road Trip Travel Journal, Pt. 1}

This time we went through south/southwest states like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. We rented a motorhome and spent most of the time just driving, but we also made some super neat stops, like New Orleans, a foggy beach, gorgeous scenic overlooks and trails, the Silos at Waco, a random prairie dog town, and lots of other fun stuff.

Alright, enough explaining what we did. Let me just show you!
