Big Bend was our “official” first stop on our full-time RVing lifestyle and it did NOT disappoint! It is very remote and you drive for hours through absolutely nothing to get there, but it is worth every mile. It’s hard to picture how large the park itself is when you look at it on a map, but once you drive in and you see you still have an hour to go before getting...
Pecan Park served as our “home-base” for 3 months while we got a grasp on living full time in our camper and performed some much-needed upgrades to our truck. Having lived in NE Austin, the move down to San Marcos was very easy. With only a 30-40 minute drive into downtown Austin from the park, we still had the convenience of the city while we were living...
We have eaten at so many amazing food trucks here in Austin. We thought we would review them all in one post, since a couple we don’t have photos for, but are definitely worth raving about!
The Bolivar Peninsula is on the Gulf Coast of Texas, about an hour southeast of Houston. There is a section called the Bolivar Flats, near Crystal Beach and right next to a bird sanctuary, where the sand stretches far enough for people to camp. This place was SO amazing and it was such a trip to drive our house straight onto the beach and park. We stopped at The Big...
Viva Vegeria is considered a tex-mex style vegan and gluten-free restaurant, but it is actually REALLY authentic Mexican cooking. The atmosphere is very casual and when you walk in you are greeted with a traditional Mexican altar complete with photos and candles. We had to wait a couple minutes for them to clear a table since they were pretty busy. The...
The Beer Plant is probably one of our favorite restaurants in Austin. Their motto is “Drink Beer. Eat Plants. Be Happy.” It only just opened in September 2016, so it is fairly new. It has a very welcoming atmosphere and is a little more upscale than most vegan restaurants. We have eaten there twice and both times we waited for a table, due to the...
We first heard about V-Eats Modern Vegan when they picked up media attention surrounding their vegan brisket. Aaron, being a hardcore ex-meat eater, was immediately excited to try it. We then set out on a quest to find an excuse for us to go up to Dallas and give this place a try. As soon as we looked at the menu, we knew we were...
We met up with our full-timing friends, the Veltkamper Adventure, who were in town visiting Austin. They were staying at Pace Bend County Park on Lake Travis and suggested we join them for a week. Within minutes, we had booked a reservation and the next morning we packed up and drove out! It was such an amazing week and was a complete validation on why we decided to...
