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 Spice of Life

    Although I say it may be Vacations, "they" say Variety is the Spice of Life. If you’re into a little of this and that, this post is for you.

  • Security with a View

    After our tour of Castillo de San Marcos, we had a great meal and strolled along St. George Street through yet another security measure.

  • Getting A Closer Look

    Yesterday's trolly ride was great, but today we learned a little more about one section of St. Augustine – and a lot more about one man.

  • America’s Oldest City

    St. Augustine is a feast for the eyes with a great trolly, fabulous Spanish Colonial architecture, Nights of Lights, and a Bridge of Lions.

  • 300 Years of History

    As much as I hated history in high school, it’s a whole nother thing to see and hear the stories of when the fate of our country was at hand.

  • A Visit to Tryon Palace

    Our stay in New Bern continues with a trip back in time – to one of our country's first colonial capitals and the home of William Tryon.

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.
