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.

  • Walk Into History

    We were blessed with beautiful days in Boston and we took advantage of every hour that we could, to be out and about exploring.

  • A City on a Hill

    For our three days in Boston, we sprung for a great hotel right near the Freedom Trail. We strolled right out of our hotel and into the city.

  • History 101

    As someone who hated high school history class, I'm amazed at how much I enjoy visiting places from those dreaded books and lectures.

  • All Things New Hampshire

    This post is a combination of all things New Hampshire in one fantastic day – babbling brooks, waterfalls, walks in the woods, and more!

  • New Hampshire Bridges

    Under a covered bridge is a good place to find its heart and imagine what it has lived through – above the ever-changing flow of a river.

  • Climb to the Clouds

    Although Jim did not appreciate this driving experience, the views and the excitement on the Mount Washington Auto Road were fantastic!

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.
