          B efore our van Chevy was fixed we were living in a room planning what we would do when we finally got the funding to do it. Everything led up to fixing the van and traveling, but before we got moving I wanted to see what Houston had to offer. What could we do here that wouldn't cost much and still be fun? I went to work googling and found out that the museums are free on Thursday. So we planned our day and hopped on Metro! We ended up going to the Museum of Natural Science first since it was closing at 5, there we got a chance to see the dinosaurs and a lot of other fun things and facts. Once it closed we went to the Children's Museum, where the kids got to explore a lot of things like the first telephone and Gullah Gullah Island. Overall money spent 2.00 for the bus ride. We brought our own food and had a picnic at the museum. It was in all, a great time. Here are some pics for your enjoyment.

        O ur first week of Vanlife!! The first 2 days of the week were spent in a church parking lot and a truck stop in Centerville, when we finally arrived at Lake Limestone we were relieved and excited to be away, we spent 7 days of free parking, free lights, no water bill, no gas bill, just petro for the tank! We had a great time actually, it was an experience for all of us. We met some pretty nice people who were also a part of the alternative living lifestyle. We had a hard time situating ourselves in the van we hadn't figured it out. In all it was a nice time, we plan on going back and actually spending the entire 14 days. For future reference and anyone reading, the name of the lake is Lake Limestone in Groesbeck, Tx, there is a 14 day max stay, it was quiet and peaceful. The police came by to do a routine check up, we got a chance to test our solar lighting and set up another way so that all of us could fit comfortably.    We purchased this dutch oven from Walma
