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.

  • 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!

  • Eight State Getaway

    This series picks up where "New England Autumn" left off. Of course we added a few extra stops to make it another amazing road trip in fall!

  • GRR: La Crosse to St. Paul Recap

    Blogposts from GRR: La Crosse to St. Paul 2025 are complete. This post provides an outline of what we saw and links to posts about each stop.

  • A Very Grand Finale

    Our Great River Roadtrip concludes at a lovely B&B in Winona. Charles' personal touches and delightful breakfasts made this a great choice!

  • One Last Move

    Today we saw more Great River views, an Eagle Center, another Lock & Dam, and a unique sculpture garden – with lunch by two Grumpy Old Men.

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.
