Life is Short.

Take Time to Travel.

Live vicariously through my travels while you’re in-between yours!

Vacations were a huge part of my childhood and now road trips keep us busy during retirement. We try to make the journeys as exciting as the destinations.

At the end of each trip, I always include a “recap” which includes what we saw, where we stayed, and a link to each post. My hope is to inspire you to use every one of your vacation days. Enjoy!

Our Latest Adventures

Posts from our 2026 road trip – aptly titled "The Spectacular Southwest" – are coming along. Follow my facebook page so you'll know when there's a new one. The "Eight State Getaway" series will continue once these posts are complete.

Please excuse the mess on older posts while I update my site.

  • A Busy Day in Zion

    Any day is a great day in Zion National Park! Although there were no waterfalls, the blue skies, warm temps, and river walks were pretty fantastic!

  • The Road to Zion

    We'll rarely take the fastest route when there's spectacular scenery to be seen. And the wild and winding roads just add to the experience!

  • City in the Pines

    On past trips, Flagstaff was a hub to see its nearby wonders of nature. This trip we stayed close, with some Route 66 and a few historic sites.

  • Road Trip on a Road Trip

    While in Phoenix, we created another short road trip to visit with friends and explore more history and beauty farther south and east.

  • Valley of the Sun, Redone

    Arizona holds a special place in my heart and I love that we keep going back, but we always seem to find something new to see!

  • The Spectacular Southwest

    We visited the Utah parks in early March last time, with terrible weather. We're hoping another month will warm up those gorgeous red rocks!

Life is Short. Take Time to Travel.

Use every one of your vacation days my friends. And consider a journal of your experiences, so you can remember some little detail that will make you smile for years to come.
