Texas is such a cool state, because it literally has a little bit of everything! There is city, mountains, desert, plains, and coastline!

As a mom of 4 kids, traveling becomes pretty expensive real quick. That is 4 more people to pay admission prices for, 4 more to pay to feed, and that means we have to pay for places that allow more people; which mean bigger, which mean more expensive. But I LOVE to travel so how …
