Memorial Day Weekend

We spent the Memorial Day weekend in Abilene. Originally, we wanted to camp at the State Park, but we are quickly learning that if we want to stay at a State Park during peak seasons, like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving etc...we should book several months in advance. The Abilene State Park didn't have any openings, so we stayed at Trey's parents place.


While we were in town, we celebrated Andy's graduation.

Queen Wilhelmina State Park

Here are some pictures from our Spring Break Vacation. This was our second leg of the trip, when we camped at Queen Wilhelmina, located in Arkansas on Rich Mountain.




Lodges at State Parks are a common thing in Arkansas. Pretty cool! We spent a few hours playing games inside.

Devil's Den State Park

When we got our Airstream around mid-October, I was not sure we would even enjoy camping. I had high hopes, but I had no idea…
We have embraced this new lifestyle and we absolutely love it! Trey and I are more mindful of taking vacation and the girls have come to expect our weekend adventures.

Last week, we took our longest and farthest trip in the Airstream. We went to Arkansas for Spring Break. Our first stop was at Deveil's Den SP. For the second part of the trip, we camped at Queen Wilhelmina SP. 

All the following pictures in this post are from Devil's Den State Park. This was our first time to Arkansas and we loved the landscape. We hiked almost everyday, except 2 days, due to travel and weather. 

A Week of Inspiration

Last week, I attended a filmmakers conference in San Antonio. The event is called In-Focus.
The majority of the attendees are wedding and commercial filmmakers. I went last year, when the event was in Charleston.

I feel like InFocus brings the most talented people in event filming together. The conference was a three day event. Two days were seminar style and there was one full day of hands-on sessions at a ranch. I arrived one day early to San Antonio to get settled into the hotel and explore the area. The hotel was directly across the street from The Alamo. Here are some of the pictures from my time at InFocus. If you are curious to know more about the conference, let me know. I'd love to go again, next year!

The Ranch


This wagon ride that shuttled us to and from classes

The majority of us had gear

So impressed with longhorns….

Hands on sessions


One of the keynote speakers lives in an airstream. He parked it on the ranch.

This is the interior. Kind of cool. 

After our sessions on the ranch, there was a mixer party.
