ith a dream and a mission, local mom & photographer of Relics of Rainbows Photo, Nicole Oman decided to put her Coronavirus worries aside for a bit of wanderlust with the family. “We decided since Covid probably won’t be over for a while that we’d act now on our dream of buying an airstream and seeing more of the U.S.,” said the Houstonian mom.

the kids a different kind of education. “We traded in the monotony of quarantine with its abundance of screen time for life lessons on the road. Every place we stop fosters discovery and an appreciation for the beauty of our Earth and our Country. More significantly, they’re learning Earth and Life Science by seeing and breathing it.” As many great adventures start, Nicole and her family began by driving off into the sunset headed west through Texas then traveling to New Mexico, Arizona and ending in San Diego.
On their return trip, they will travel through Utah before headed back to our great state of Texas. Armed with her trusty camera, Nicole has captured some amazing imagery that we are excited to share with our HFM readers. We hope you enjoy the visual journey and that it inspires you to embark on your own family adventure.
