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

I don't do this often, but I didn't get very far on my "Eight State Getaway" posts anyway, so the rest are getting the boot (for now) in favor of a series from our latest winter road trip. I'll try to skim over some of the other stuff before we get to our absolutely fabulous stops in Utah. I can hardly wait to get started on these posts, so follow my facebook page so you'll know when each new post is complete!

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

  • Oh, What a Day! (cont’d)

    This post picks up where the last one left off – with the second half of a loop to see some sites in Kootenay and Yoho National Parks in BC.

  • Exploring God’s Country

    We've been looking forward to visiting the Canadian Rockies for years, so I don't think we'll be getting much relaxation on this "vacation".

  • The Trip of Our Lives 2023

    A trip out west requires three hard (and boring) days of driving and a whole lot of distractions. We found some good ones in ND, SK, and AB.

  • Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

    This post is an introduction to our trip in May of 2023, and explains our thinking to just DO IT ALL! It was truly the Trip of our Lives!

  • Seeking the Sun Recap

    Posts from our 2023 southeast winter road trip are complete. This post provides an outline of what we saw and links to posts about each stop.

  • A Soggy Day in Baton Rouge

    Despite the weather, we enjoyed the new state capitol with its observation deck, and the old state capitol with its amazing spiral staircase.

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.
