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.

  • Castle in the Clouds

    Last time we were here, it was rainy, cloudy and the gates were closed, but we returned nine years later on a truly spectacular day.

  • Another Week of Wow!

    We moved our home base to NH near the Attitash whistle stop. Here we had plenty of opportunities to explore the splendor of New Hampshire.

  • The Hundred Mile View

    As our stay in Wilmington winds down, this post takes us on Route 9 which offers just a glimpse of Vermont's extraordinary Green Mountains.

  • Vermont Covered Bridges

    This post proves we're not being couch potatoes with some random stops and a plethora of covered bridges that we found in the vicinity.

  • Historic Wilmington

    After some stops in NY, we arrived at the historic Crafts Inn. It will be a fun week in this beautiful town and the surrounding areas.

  • Cheers to the Empire State

    Starting this day in Niagara Falls perched right next to its thundering waters, we took the scenic route to a lovely overnight in Sodus, NY.

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.
