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.

  • 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.

  • Cape San Blas Lighthouse

    This lighthouse has been through a lot in its 175-years: rebuilds, redesigns and a relocation from the hurricane-prone Cape San Blas.

  • Apalachee Bay to Apalachicola

    We finished off our fabulous stay in St. Marks and made a stop at San Marcos de Apalache on our way to two nights in Apalachicola.

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.
