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.

  • 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.

  • Seeking the Sun 2023

    It's that time again and as winter sets in, Jim and I have the urge to migrate like the birds. We get started in New Bern, NC.

  • Bay State Getaway Recap

    Blogposts from our Bay State Getaway are finally complete. This post provides an outline of what we saw and links to posts about each stop.

  • Wow-Worthy Waterfalls

    When a friend shared a post with the very best waterfalls in New York, we immediately added these two to our route back home. WOW!

  • Waterfalls, History, and Art

    This post finishes off our extensive list of things to see during our time in Massachusetts. As great as it was, I'm sure we'll be back.

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.
