Grand Teton National Park aka “Jackson Hole”, Wyoming
August 16-21, 2025 I have always had an interest in visiting Grand Teton National Park, we just never made it happen. It’s not a cheap place to visit. Other places took precedence. Since we got the America the Beautiful annual pass to the national parks this year I decided it was finally time. >>Getting AroundContinue reading “Grand Teton National Park aka “Jackson Hole”, Wyoming”
Majestic Mountain Loop, California
May 25-21, 2025 Y’all already know I was mystified by the redwoods of northern California, so the obvious next step was visiting Sequoia National Park. After doing research on this area I learned it is adjacent to King’s Canyon National Park AND only a few hours from Yosemite National Park. Choosing between potential for lessContinue reading “Majestic Mountain Loop, California”
Fredericksburg, Texas
April 20-24, 2025 Long story condensed: Jason qualified to run Boston Marathon, but them hoes don’t accept everyone that qualifies, so I obviously planned something else. We typically travel this particular week for our anniversary anyway. We traded in the idea of a race, throwing tea in the harbor, and visiting Sam Adams for helpingContinue reading “Fredericksburg, Texas”
Viking River Cruise – Rhine Getaway
August 5-15, 2024 Where did the idea of us taking a Viking Cruise begin? I guess it all started when Downton Abbey initially aired on tv. If you watch any kind of PBS broadcasting, you’ve seen the commercials. But how did it actually happen for us? I wanted to book a trip to Oktoberfest inContinue reading “Viking River Cruise – Rhine Getaway”
Disney World – Orlando, FL
May 11-17, 2024 Well, it happened. We went back to Disney! Star Wars land was only a concept and the skyliner was being built on our last (Jason’s first ever) visit, so we discussed coming back after about 5 years. A lot has changed! But we are still two big kids at heart. With theContinue reading “Disney World – Orlando, FL”
Chicago, Illinois
September 23-27, 2023 Food? Good. Museums? Good. Weather? Supposed to be good. So off we went! Also, I haven’t visited since I was a kid and Jason had never been. The YOU! Exhibit at Museum of Science and Industry really stuck with me. I wanted Jason to see it. >>Getting Around CTA – public transitContinue reading “Chicago, Illinois”
Banff, Canada
August 12-19, 2023 Around October of last year I finally signed Jason up to attend a work conference in Banff for the summertime. We had a 2 full days & 5 half days to explore around his class schedule. It gave us nice breaks between more strenuous adventures and the weather was fantastic for 80%Continue reading “Banff, Canada”
Calistoga, California
aka Cali² April 22-27, 2023 Jason had this particular week off leaving me with the quest to find a trip with the best weather this time of year. We considered revisiting places we’ve loved on other vacations, then decided we wanted somewhere new to us. What could be more relaxing than wineries? What area hasContinue reading “Calistoga, California”
Los Cabo, Mexico
September 11-16, 2022 My husband had the week off and my initial plan of seeing Yellowstone & Grand Teton was a logistical nightmare and way more money than we wanted to spend on a trip. Y’all already know we love Mexico and beaches… so we decided to finally see what the Pacific side was allContinue reading “Los Cabo, Mexico”
