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.

  • 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.

  • So Long Snow Recap

    Posts from our 2022 southwest winter trip are complete. This post provides an outline of where we went and links to posts about each stop. 

  • In Transition

    By definition road trips imply transition, but we usually like longer stays. From this point on, we have short stops in NM, TX, and even MO.

  • Phoenix Finale

    After 2 days with friends in Sun City, we returned to Peoria for our last night. What could be better than a sunset cruise on Lake Pleasant?

  • Day Trips x4

    We try to explore new and interesting things without driving too far, but sometimes we make exceptions. These were all exceptions, but worth it!

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.
