Updates from the Road

We are off on our summer trip! Here we are all packed up and ready to go! Our first stop was in Georgia at another one of their beautiful state parks, Fort McAllister, just south of Savannah. There we were treated to a quiet area at the end of a point, surrounded by water. There…

So, you know how sometimes when you book a tour, cruise or any other kind of adventure, you are not always sure what you are booking. This was exactly the case when we chose this itinerary and saw that it went to the Hubbard Glacier. We really had no clue what we were booking. The…

After Juneau, it was off to the compact city of Skagway in southeast Alaska, which is set on the Inside Passage a popular cruise route. It’s home to gold-rush-era buildings, now preserved as part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. https://www.nps.gov/klgo/planyourvisit/visitorcenters.htm. The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad runs vintage locomotives past the…

After Ketchikan, we headed to Juneau, which is Alaska’s capital, and is also the state’s second largest city. It is a unique destination for a myriad of reasons.  Juneau sits nestled up next to the Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle with no connecting roads to other cities – making it only accessible by water…

This summer we will be heading up the East Coast as far north as Bar Harbor, Maine, then going across the top of the US to places like Vermont, Niagara Falls, Toledo, and Mackinaw Island. As we continue our quest to sleep at least one night in every state in the nation and to see…

Before we head out on our Summer Trip, we managed to sneak in a cruise to Alaska on the Celebrity Solstice out of Vancouver.  We spent the night before the cruise a few blocks from the cruise terminal. Check out the beautiful view we had from our hotel room. We awoke to the cool sight of…

We have completed our last local trip before we head out for the summer. This short trip took us back to the place where we spent the last night of our Fall 2022 trip, Reed Bingham State Park in Adel, GA. When we were there last year, we considered staying and extra night or two,…

We spent a few days in the desert and boy did we see some beautiful sights.  Wait, did you think I meant actually in the desert? Well it was kind of in the desert, it was Palm Desert, just outside of Palm Springs. The view flying into the area was just beautiful. I love to…

When we came home from our last trip in October, we originally planned on putting Dash in storage until the spring. We quickly realized that it was not a good idea to let Dash sit for several months over the winter, so we decided that it would be best to take him out and exercise…

While on the road last month, we had an opportunity to see some of the beautiful fall colors that we don’t get to see in Florida. No more words needed. This is my favorite picture. Looking down the 9th fairway of the Lakes course at The National, a Robert Trent Jones, course just outside of…
