✨ What an amazing day at the Richmond/Doswell Hot Air Balloon Festival!

There’s something truly magical about watching colorful hot air balloons fill the sky. From the breathtaking balloon launches to the festive atmosphere, great food, and live entertainment, it was an unforgettable experience.

The Meadow Event Park was the perfect venue with plenty of space and easy access in and out. We had such a wonderful time soaking in the sights and making memories.

If you’ve never been to a hot air balloon festival, I highly recommend adding it to your bucket list!

When life throws you lemons… make limoncello. 🍋

Travel keeps reminding me that everything happens for a reason — even when you don’t always understand it in the moment. Having the opportunity to put my talents where they are needed while learning to go with the flow, catching up with great people, and revisiting some favorite spots for good food has been the best part.

And if you see me out and about… it’s not my doppelgänger — it’s actually me. 😄t

I’m curious what everyone thinks about this…

Do you feel it’s okay to promote yourself or another group inside a different Facebook group? Especially when that group is pretty specific or unique to the admins who built it?

I know some people see it as networking and sharing helpful resources, while others feel it takes away from the purpose of the original group.

What’s your take on it—okay in some situations, or never okay?

First time boondocking in Joshua Tree yhe past 2 week, and I have to say… I enjoyed it. There’s something special about waking up in the quiet desert, surrounded by wide-open views, yet still being close enough to Yucca Valley and 29 Palms for anything we needed. It really was the perfect balance of remote and convenient.

This trip was full of learning moments—figuring out the rhythms of boondocking, planning ahead, and just slowing down to appreciate where we are. We spent evenings stargazing, including an incredible night at the observatory, and days hiking trails where you can literally feel the local history all around you. Getting to see clusters of hundreds of stars and planets like Jupiter was surreal.

And then there were the windy days… the kind that kick up what I like to call “desert glitter,” when the sand dances across the ground and the whole landscape seems alive. It’s rugged, beautiful, and unforgettable all at once.

I also discovered what I really enjoy doing as a hobby! Being a google travel guide allows me to share my love of taking photos and share my adventures with others that can’t.

Weeks like this remind me why we travel the way we do—simple, open, and full of moments you can’t really plan, only experience.

Always remember “Life’s too short, take the journey”
