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.

  • 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!

  • Gardens of Glass

    A few of my favorite things converged on one amazing day into night – a botanical garden, a fabulous blown glass expedition, and family.

  • Movin’ on Up

    We made a stop in Florence to see friends, where we explored a bit and joined in on some festivities! Our next stop was a Dwarf Car Museum.

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.
