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.

    First stop was the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where we perused videos, old photos and displays about our favorite musicians from days gone by.

  • Winter Continues

    Everyone is staying close to home since Covid arrived, so we've really been enjoying our only visitors – the birds and the squirrels.

  • Third Time’s a ~Cancelled~

    If you've come to read about another great road trip where we hightail it outta Wisconsin for some of its winter – well, you're outta luck.

  • Racine, Wisconsin

    Today we're visiting the city of Racine, Wisconsin to get a double dose of Frank Lloyd Wright and to see another fabulous lighthouse.

  • Kenosha, Wisconsin

    After thirty-something years hauling-ass past Kenosha when driving to Chicago and beyond, we finally stopped. On a chilly day in November.

    Posts from our 2020 Florida road trip are complete. This recap provides an outline of where we went and links to posts about each stop.

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.
