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.

  • Two Lights and a Wildlife Refuge

    We finish up our stay in Orlando in Mount Dora (and its light), then head to St. Marks to its National Wildlife Refuge (and its light).

  • Day Trip to Port Canaveral

    With security clearance in hand, we left for Port Canaveral. It was a fabulous day, on the Port Canaveral Lighthouse and Spaceflight Tour.

  • Blue Spring State Park

    North about an hour, Blue Spring State Park is a habitat for the threatened and endangered. Manatees, tall birds, and gators, oh my!

  • Bok Tower Gardens

    We were pretty lazy during our stay in Clermont, but our only outing was a warm and beautiful one at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales.

  • Turtles, Floaties, & Beer

    Marathon finishes off our Keys stay. We'll be back soon to the gorgeous blue waters and the laid back atmosphere of this fabulous latitude.

  • Movin’ on Down

    Today we cruised the seventy miles of open water between Key West and Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park (and had some beers).

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.
