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.

  • A Wright Trifecta

    When we heard about a celebration and some bugs on Facebook, we took a drive to western Wisconsin for a Frank Lloyd Wright trifecta!

  • On a Mission x4

    Today we visited four amazing missions south of the Alamo, where restoration continues to bring these historical settlements back to life.

  • Alamo City

    A wonderful visit to the Pearl District included a snoop-around at the Hotel Emma, and a stroll on the northern end of the River Walk.

  • Some Time in N’awlins

    Four days in NOLA included a city tour, a cemetery, beignets, a boat ride with Elvis, great food, lots of walking, and drinks on a carousel.

  • End of the Road Part Two

    This post continues along the Mississippi to the literal end of the road, ALMOST to where the Mississippi flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

  • So Long Snow 2022

    Our first stops were spent along the Mississippi. Plantations, traditions, history, and great seafood really got this road trip started!

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.
