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.

  • 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.

  • The Big Easy Revisited

    This post includes several days of exploring during our second visit to New Orleans in as many years. We dug way deeper into its history.

  • A Day on the Mighty Mississippi

    Today we made one stop in Darrow, LA that included a massive Great River Road Museum and a gorgeous plantation home with lovely gardens.

  • For the Love of Flowers

    This was a fabulous day trip to see flowers at the "charm spot of the deep south" – Bellingrath Gardens. The home was equally as impressive!

  • A Return to PCB

    We enjoyed a walk in the park and a visit to Historic St. Andrews for sightseeing, a tour of a vintage printer, and a beer by the Bay.

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.
