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.

  • The Old Pueblo

    From our new digs in Tucson, today's journey was wonderful – up the Catalina Mountains for magnificent views from high above the valley.

  • The Wild West

    Spending two nights in Sierra Vista set us up nicely for some day drinking, mine exploring, shopping, and yet another fantastic mission.

  • 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.

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.
