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.

  • Red Rocks Recap

    Blogposts from "Return to the Red Rocks" are complete. This post provides an outline of where we went, what we saw and links to posts associated with each stop.

  • Relaxing in Ridgedale

    Typically the final weeks of our AZ trips are spent in MO where we can relax by the fire. Although cooler in March, temps are way better than Wisconsin's!

  • A Solemn Day in OKC

    We usually just pass through OK on our way home, but this time we stopped to see an excellent memorial to an event that I remember like it was yesterday.

  • Along Oak Creek Canyon

    Sedona in mid-February has fewer tourists, crisp fresh air, and plenty of sunshine. I am grateful for every visit to gaze upon its splendid red rocks.

  • Some Highlights of Sedona

    Sedona's mild mid-February temps and abundant sunshine meet our requirements for escaping winter. And then there are the excellent views!

  • One of Seven Natural Wonders

    Gazing out into the Grand Canyon in mid-February is not ideal, but the sun shined brightly and traces of snow were beautiful on the red rock.

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.
