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.

  • First Lady of the World

    Today we'll continue the Hyde Park experience at Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill country cottage. Eleanor deserved a post of her own!

  • Hyde Park Overnight

    We booked an overnight to visit FDR's home, Library and Museum, and Eleanor's retreat. A Vanderbilt Mansion is a National Historic Site?

  • Bridges, Blooms & Beyond

    Today we also saw waterfalls and potholes and discovered Galumpkis. The colors are coming on nicely, which adds to the marvelous of MA.

  • A Bounty of Bridges

    We left early this morning with an extensive list of covered bridges to explore. Beautiful blue skies and warm temps made this a perfect day.

  • Day Trip to North Adams

    Today's outings included a walk in the woods and beautiful white marble cliffs with great mountain views – and just a hint of Autumn.

  • Bay State Getaway 2022

    Back-to-back weeks in MA with close proximity to NY, CT and VT enabled a great trip with radiant colors coming on over the course of our stay.

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.
