Our Summer Family Vacation is typically something we plan for at least 8 to 12 months in advance. We make cabin/hotel reservations, reach out to our usual traveling friends to see who wants to join up, and even start thinking about what types of meals we will make (ok, Scott thinks about the meals). Earlier this year when thinking about vacation we decided we would do something simple and stay around Texas. Maybe take a guided fishing trip to Lake Whitney or drive down to Bastrop to stay at the Piney Woods Hilton Resort. While Scott and I thought this a great plan, when it was revealed to the girls their faces told a very different story. They did not complain, however the look of excitement we thought we would see was ...... definitely absent. Thus, we went back to the drawing board and started looking a Red River, New Mexico. I had not been to Red River since I was a 15 year old who was invited on a Spring Break Trip with Shearer Hills Baptist Church. That trip proved to be a pivotal moment in my life. A fun teenage get away became the catalyst of my Christian journey that I am still on today.
Red River was exactly what we needed for this Summer of our lives. The town was cute and offered activities, shops, and short hiking trails. The ATV trails were challenging enough and lead to beautiful views.
