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.

  • 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.

  • In Search of Owls

    Tucson has great restaurants, craft breweries, a dimly-lit bar in a former funeral home, a band shell made out of flowers, and an Owls Club!

  • San Xavier del Bac Mission

    Sometimes cloudy days are a bummer, but today's grey clouds provided an ominous feel to my photos, at a place I have visited many times.

  • How About a Nice Game of Chess?

    Once one of America’s most top secret places, this well-preserved missile site is now a National Historic Landmark, offering tours to millions.

  • Saguaro National Park

    Between photo opps and narrow, winding roads, both sections of the park provided two days of entertainment and lots of pretty pictures.

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.
