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

I don't do this often, but I didn't get very far on my "Eight State Getaway" posts anyway, so the rest are getting the boot (for now) in favor of a series from our latest winter road trip. I'll try to skim over some of the other stuff before we get to our absolutely fabulous stops in Utah. I can hardly wait to get started on these posts, so follow my facebook page so you'll know when each new post is complete!

Please excuse the mess on older posts while I update my site.

  • 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.

  • Dodging the Deep Freeze 2020

    Building a snowman is pretty fun and snow looks great on the evergreens – especially with Christmas lights. But now's the time to head south.

  • Have a Nice Day!

    When I realized I had never posted about several short day trips I took in the summer and fall of 2017, I just had to share! Have a nice day!

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.
