This episode is awfully squirrely. My best friends and all our spouses recently went on a trip to Galveston, Texas for Spring Break. A group trip has been talked about for years and we finally pulled the trigger and went to Galveston of all places. We share stories of going to places like Moody Gardens, a haunted pub crawl, an attempt to go to pleasure pier, and hanging out at the Airbnb and beach. It was a great trip and I hope you enjoy hanging out with my friends in this episode as much as I do.

This week my husband Cory joins the podcast for the very first time to recap our trip to Phoenix, Arizona for the Waste Management Open. We experienced the event for the first time this year, and our trip was interesting for sure. With the unseasonable weather the event wasn't typical of years past, but we still really enjoyed the experience. We crammed a lot of adventure into just 3 days and condensed it all down into one 30-minute episode.Experiencing and exploring everything that makes small towns great.

Hello fellow tourists! So a bit of an update, we are going to be switching up when the show get's published for a little while. The show isn't stopping, and it for sure isn't going anywhere, I just have reached a point in my bandwidth where an every-week show isn't feasible like it used to be, BUT it is a good thing. The reason I hit that point is because I get to help other people make their podcasts!! So for now we are switching to an every other week release schedule -- key words there are "for now." Thank you for being on this journey with me, and I will see you next week for a brand-new episode! Experiencing and exploring everything that makes small towns great.
