Impalas and emus and warthogs, oh my! These are just some of the animals roaming the giant pastures of Texas Zoofari Park in Kaufman, Texas. This drive-through safari park experience lets you get up close and personal with wildlife (and not-so-wild life, hello llamas!) from the comfort of your car. We visited with family and …
I finally got to check Colorado off my bucket list, and I’m going to call it – it’s a Top 5 for me. And that’s only after visiting the Denver area. As soon as we knew we were going to Denver, I started researching how to tour Red Rocks Amphitheater. One of the most famous …
When I was a kid, my mom would drive us from San Diego to Portland, Oregon every year. My dad rarely went…it was usually my mom, me, my brother, and my sister. God bless her for driving all that way with three little kids, because now that I’m a parent I realize how hard that …

Fredericksburg is the BEST. It’s one of my favorite places in Texas, and I just got back from a girls’ weekend in this pretty town. We’ve also visited with the kids, and while Fredericksburg is super family-friendly (and also a great place for a romantic getaway!), today I want to focus on everything you need …
We just got back from De Queen, Arkansas. If you’re reading this, you probably know where De Queen is, or at least are looking for more information about an upcoming stay. I’d never heard of it before, though…but it turned out to be a great spot right in-between two very popular vacation destinations (Broken Bow, …
If you live in the Dallas area, you have no doubt heard your friends talk about visiting Broken Bow, OK, if you haven’t visited yourself. It’s a very popular destination for a getaway from Dallas, and we’ve been hearing about it for years. We finally visited and I’m going to tell you everything a Broken …
