This is where my oftentimes longer and more intrusive thoughts land and I share everything from stories from the road, photographs I’ve captured, as well as anything else that I feel like putting on display. Some entries are recent, and most of them took me a while to write. It is all random, and that is by design.
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
The most wonderful time of the year isn’t December—it’s the offseason in Port Aransas, when the crowds are gone, the coast slows down, and everything feels right again.
Turkey & The Tide
This Thanksgiving, we took our longest getaway yet to Port Aransas—our home away from home. From beach days to cozy nights at the beach house, we traded tradition for waves and made memories that will last a lifetime. The coast truly is the best place to recharge, and this trip was one for the books.
No Kids, No Crumbs, No Problem: Our First Getaway
For the first time since the kids were born, it was just the two of us. No kids, no crumbs, no chaos—just us, on the road to Port Aransas. It felt strange—borderline unsettling, if I’m being honest—not having them in the backseat. Usually, no matter where we go, they’re always with us. But this trip was different. It was about hitting pause on the chaos, letting go of the guilt, and reconnecting.
Blog Delays + Rainy Days
My last post, This Is The End…, nearly became the unintended finale of this blog. Life threw more work my way than I’d seen in a long time, so it took a few months to get back to this follow-up. Here’s the content from Port Aransas that I’d planned to share back in February—better late than never. These images, captured during a chilly, rain-soaked November trip, bring back memories of moody skies, family time, and cozy escapes from the weather. Despite the rain, any Gulf Coast getaway is a win in my book
Greetings From Port Aransas
Port Aransas isn’t just a destination; it’s a reminder of everything that feels right when life slows down. Between the beach walks, unplanned stops, and the town’s familiar, salty charm, this trip was less about getting away and more about getting back to basics.
