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.

  • The Music of New Orleans

    Our stay in New Orleans continues with a walk to entertainment at the historic Preservation Hall, making lots of stops along the way.

  • Southeast to Sunshine

    After two days' drive we arrived in NOLA, where we enjoyed some Motown at the gorgeous Saenger Theatre. So much talent and such great songs!

  • New England Autumn Recap

    Blogposts from our 2024 New England road trip are complete. This post provides an outline of what we saw and links to posts about each stop.

  • A Beautiful Ending

    In Littleton, NH we were blessed with autumn's splendor as we explored this fabulous little town along the lovely Ammonoosuc River.

  • Not the Fastest Route!

    Why waste a 2.5-hour relocation just driving, when we can spend time checking out historic covered bridges along the way. Good times!

  • Three Hikes & Some Church Music

    In Brattleboro, beautiful fall colors embellished our hikes and some music in a renovated Victorian Gothic church made for a memorable 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.
