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.

  • En route to St. Mary Village

    We turned the two-hour drive from West Glacier to St. Mary Village into a six-hour day, with a LOT of beautiful distractions.

  • Exploring West Glacier, MT

    In this post we'll drive the lower elevations of GTSR to see fabulous waterfalls, amazing bridges, and take a peaceful walk in a forest.

  • A Day on the GTSR

    Words cannot describe the beauty of Glacier National Park – from its lovely rivers at the lower elevations to Logan Pass at 6,646 feet.

  • A Sneak Peek at the Park

    On arrival day in West Glacier we traveled to McDonald's Creek Bridge, McGee's Meadow, and an old wildfire burn site which was amazing!

  • Our Alaska Farewell

    We were busy in Fairbanks! We experienced history first-hand with trains, gold, sled dogs, a pipeline, a native village and a salmon bake!

  • Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge

    This post includes a great tour of Denali National Park with a view of Denali! We learned about the Iditarod and held a Husky puppy!

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.
