Last night I promised my son I would get burritos for breakfast today. So, this morning I made my way to our favorite breakfast burrito establishment and got in line in the drive through to place my order. As I sat there thinking about my day, I noticed the sun beginning to rise in front [...]

Last Friday and Saturday, my youngest son and I made the trek over to the Guadalupe Mountains and then made the hike up to the top of Guadalupe Peak, the tallest peak in Texas. We made it up in time to set up camp and then make it on to the summit for the sun [...]
