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.

  • More of the Door: Finale

    More of the Door: Finale

    We continue our tour of the Door with great buildings, goats on a roof, and the shopping and eating you've come to expect on the peninsula.

  • Door County, WI

    More of the Door: Part One

    Don't expect to see all of the Door in a weekend. For shopping, a play, a few nature trails, and a round of golf, you'll need a lot more days!

  • Door County, WI

    Southern Door County Barn Quilts

    Although Shawano is considered the Barn Quilt Capital of WI, Door County has quite a few! This week I found a great map to help me find them.

  • Cave Point County Park

    Cave Point County Park

    Cave Point is located on the southeastern side of the peninsula and is definitely worth the drive to check it out. It's absolutely beautiful!

  • Anclam Park, Baileys Harbor, WI

    Baileys Harbor

    We usually stay on the western side, but the eastern side of Door County is more relaxing with great lake views and interesting lighthouses.

  • Newport State Park

    Newport State Park

    A fabulous day at Newport State Park offers lots of great trails and some awesome Lake Michigan views, as well as a beautiful lighthouse.

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.
