We traveled to Sundara in October of 2022 for a long weekend getaway. We were a little hesitant about the Sundara as visiting “The Dells” does not automatically evoke thoughts of plush robes, pampering spa treatments, and luxurious accommodations. But this destination oasis in the middle of gigantic water park country changed our minds as…

Paradise Found: Kauai 2022
We had a big summer of 2022, and all of the excitement happened in July. After our Wild West Road Trip with just the two of us, we took the whole fam’ to Kauai. It was a return trip for us but a first for the kids. Here are just some of the fantastic things…
Wild West 2022
We headed out on our first true road trip this summer, covering over 3,200 miles in ten days and loving every minute! We used the Roadtrippers app to plan this trip. It was easy to use and provided helpful information throughout the trip. We went north on the way out and south on the way…
Grand Haven, Michigan – May 2022
We needed a getaway and decided to head to Michigan over Memorial Day Weekend. This time we decided to stay at the Looking Glass Inn Bed & Breakfast in Grand Haven. The inn was adorable with a fantastic location. It was up on a bluff across the street from beach. There were 79 steps up…
Magical Eleuthera
This past December 2021 we decided to take our first (annual?!?) post-Christmas trip. We had been researching islands in the Bahamas and landed on Eleuthera. It just so happens that Lenny Kravitz has a home on this gorgeous island (hmm). We did not run into him, unfortunately. Eleuthera is a long, thin island in the…
NOLA 2021
We headed to New Orleans this past November, freshly “boostered” and ready to party. Ha! Neither of us had visited before and we were eager to explore. Because we love to eat, and New Orleans is a city bursting with great food, we nibbled our way through town. On the trip down, we stumbled on…
VEGAS, BABY
At the end of February 2021, we decided to venture out for a quick trip to Sin City. We stayed at the Cosmopolitan for the first time. We had a great room on the 23rd floor (pics to follow) with a nice view of the Bellagio fountains. We had multiple yummy meals, did a lot…
Hilton Head 2020
After months of staying at home we were thrilled to be able to visit Hilton Head this summer. Their Covid numbers started to increase at end of our week, but we followed protocols and were able to enjoy ourselves safely. The picture above was the only time we ate at a restaurant. It was our…
Octoberfest 2019 – Hermann, Missouri
We went to Octoberfest last weekend and had a great time! We devoured German specialties, sampled delicious beer, wine and spirits, hung out by the fire and browsed quaint shops. All of this fun was had, not in Munich, but in Hermann, Missouri. Hermann is a small town on the Missouri River about an hour…
Tucson, July 2019
This summer we decided to take a side trip from our annual visit to Chandler, Arizona. Tucson, two hours south of Chandler, was the perfect choice. We started our trip with a stop at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. It’s only 30 minutes south of Chandler. It was worth a quick visit. The ruins, one…
