Van Life Day 67
Miami baby! Just had to stop in Miami, I feel like it was iconic to pass up. The drive through was beautiful, and for a big city, it felt very green and tropical. Kinda place I don’t think I would be able to afford rent anywhere. It was not the Miami depicted in Burn Notice,…

Biscayne National Park! The park is mostly water, so we spent all day boating, snorkeling, swimming, and paddleboarding! The water was 70 degrees in January! I rented a wetsuit, but didn’t end up needing it! I am so used to our freezing lakes back home that this felt like a swimming pool. It was also…

Smaller post! Hard to get photos when you are snorkeling! Never went snorkeling but I think I set the bar pretty high going to Devils Den in Florida. Just sitting at the dock and watching the fish is surreal! The water was decently warm and super clear, the sunlight coming through the top of the…

Ponce de Leon Springs I did a lot of swimming in Florida. There is no shortage of places to go for a swim. Swimming in the middle of January felt odd. I didn’t even originally intend to swim, but I got so warm hiking, and the water looked so clear that I decided it would…

New Orleans felt like a place overflowing with culture and community. Usually, the…

Van Life Day 54 – 57
Spent a few days in both San Antonio and Houston! Taking a break from nature to experience what the urban areas have to offer! In San Antonio, I got to see the Alamo as well as the other missions. It was fun biking to each one! Explored the river walk, which was a beautiful space,…

Van Life Day 53
Big Bend National Park Big Bend NP was a long drive down with not a whole lot to look at. But Big Bend itself was beautiful! I got some amazing views and soaked up all the sunlight I could. It was hot during the hike, and I forgot what it was like to get a…
