Today we woke to thunder continuously and a lovely rain for a few hours this morning. In a city that has been very, very dry the rain is welcoming to a northerner like me. After a bit of a morning stream for me and a massage for Michael we brunched at one of our favorite local places. La Madeleine is a wonderful little french place near us and they have an amazing tomato basil soup that I love and french onion soup he loves. We sat out on the patio listening to the gentle rain and enjoying the cooler air that we are having.

Some days the best laid plans go to heck in a hand basket. This week due to some unforeseen circumstances we have changed some of our travel plans for the rest of the year. We are taking the time to re-evaluate our plans and taking care of some of the normal mundane things we need to do. We both needed to pick up new eyeglasses we had ordered. Another important thing was getting the A/C checked at the house here as the downstairs unit was not functioning.

We are also looking at changing some of our travel equipment for the future and have been looking at a new RV and vehicle for towing. We went to an RV dealership yesterday and saw a really neat fifth wheel that we both like. One of the things we are looking at is there are some trailers that have a mid-bunk room that can be used as an office. This would be perfect for anything we need to do work-wise while traveling as well as a space I can use for streaming and writing.

Tonight we had dinner at one of our favorite little Mexican restaurants in Austin that’s local to our neighborhood. One of the best things about Austin is some of the amazing restaurants available for eating in and for take out.

No food pics today but here’s a great pic of our pups Moki and Bella playing on a recent trip.

Welcome to the Travels, Tips and Tasty Tid Bits Blog. My name is Tessa and my boyfriend and I started traveling together shortly after we met. Part of that was brought on by a necessity to quarantine in the early days of the Covid virus. Since the beginning of March we’ve camped at 4 Texas State Parks (some we’ve actually repeated already), took a 34 day journey through 9 states, and spent a week by the ocean. We have more plans to travel in the coming months as well as sights to see around the Austin Texas area we currently call home.

I currently am a content creator on Twitch where I stream a variety of video games as well as some crafting streams while I crochet. If you have questions about our travels feel free to add a comment as well as using the contact us information to reach me. Thank you for coming along on this journey I look forward to sharing our travels and adventures with you.
