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.

  • Island Living

    St. Pete Beach is on the barrier island of Long Key. With a fabulous condo near the Gulf Coast and its abundant birds, this stop was the best!

  • The Scenic Route

    If you follow this blog, you know that we seldom take the fastest route when a short diversion (or six) will make the trip more interesting.

  • Farewell PCB

    Ahead of the season, we had Camp Helen to ourselves. We were amazed that somewhere this peaceful was so close to the hustle and bustle of PCB.

  • Gator Lake*

    After a visit to St. Andrews (the town), we explored its park. Although we had hopes of seeing some gators, LOTS of herons were even better.

  • Pines, Swamps and Springs

    What an absolutely fabulous day here in the panhandle of FL. I will say, this state is growing on me and it hasn't even warmed up yet!

  • The Emerald Coast

    Even though temps were downright chilly, the sunshine and white sandy beaches were a great alternative to the cold and snow of Wisconsin.

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.
