Backroads and Beaches RV

Want the full front row castle view or a relaxing night from your lawn chair with a drink in your hand?
We caught the Wondrous Journeys show inside Disneyland, and the castle view is undeniably magic! BUT... if you want to skip the massive exit crowds and expensive park tickets, you can actually watch the fireworks without even leaving your RV.

70 years of magic, memories, and pure joy. 🎉
From the Mickey flower beds at the entrance to Sleeping Beauty Castle glowing under the “Celebrate Happy” banner… the classic plaque that still gives goosebumps… fireworks lighting up Main Street… Space Mountain… “it’s a small world”… and nighttime spectaculars that make you feel like a kid again.
“Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.”
Happy 70th, Disneyland. Thank you for being the happiest place on Earth. 💙✨

Paint the Night is leaving Disneyland on August 20.
That means you have three nights left to stand on Main Street while the entire parade lights up like a moving constellation.
The floats glow.
The music hits different in the dark.
And for a few minutes the whole park just stops and stares.
If you’ve been putting it off, this is your last window.
If you’ve already seen it, you already know why people are rushing back before it disappears.
Three nights.
Then it’s gone.
Who’s making one last trip just for this?
Drop a ✨ if you’re going before the 20th.

“The Parade That Stops Everything”
There is no better feeling than claiming a curb and watching the entire park stop for the parade.
The music starts.
The floats roll in.
Suddenly nobody cares about Lightning Lane or wait times.
Everyone just… watches.
If you’ve ever sat there with your legs falling asleep and still refused to move because the next float might be your favorite… you get it.
Disneyland parades don’t just entertain.
They reset the whole day.

"Have you seen Paint the Night yet — or are you out of time?"
This glow-in-the-dark parade is only running through August 20th. Disney has the best parades. If you haven't caught it, this is your sign.

Easily the best ceviche and poke we have EVER had. 🙌
​Costa Sur in Corpus Christi completely blew us away. The fusion style Ceviche Mixto and Peruvian Poke were unbelievably fresh. And do not—I repeat, DO NOT—leave without getting the Pisco-infused chocolate cake. It’s officially our new favorite dessert.
​Huge thanks to Crystal for being the most awesome waitress! We’ll definitely be back. 💙

Voted the #1 restaurant in Fredericksburg, Texas by Trip Advisor. Dinner at the Cabernet Grill was unforgettable. We kicked things off with Texas twinkies that hit every smoky, spicy, creamy note. This carrot soup was silky and over-the-top flavor, and those biscuits were dangerously good. The ribeye was a perfectly cooked medium rare, broiled at 1800°F, paired with three cheese grits. The grits were velvety and rich with just the right amount of cheese. We didn't even have room for dessert. A bottle of Cab Blanc wine from Grape Creek Vineyard tied it all together beautifully. Hill Country dining at its best!

What makes these species unique is that fishermen can remove one claw and they regenerate it through molting, a process that typically takes one to three years.
Here’s how it works:
Fishermen use baited traps with pigs feet or fish heads to catch the crabs.
Only legal-sized claws can be taken.
One claw is twisted off carefully at a natural breaking point.
The crab is returned to the water so it can survive and eventually regrow the claw over time.
This method is considered more sustainable than harvesting the whole crab because the crab can continue living and reproducing.
Stone crab claws are expensive because they’re considered a specialty seafood and there’s a lot of work behind a relatively small amount of meat.
Limited season from Oct 15- May 1st.
Labor intensive — traps have to be checked constantly, claws sorted by legal size, and crabs handled carefully.
