Back in December 2023/January 2024 we did a 10-day road trip through three South Atlantic states. Admittedly, this time of the year probably isn’t the best time to visit this region. Unfortunately, many museums were closed around the new year, we didn’t get to experience Charleston awash in spring blooms, nor did we get to […]

It is the largest pure gypsum dune field in the world and sledding the dunes is obviously the park’s main attraction. Located at the northern limits of the Chihuahuan Desert and at […]

One of my city slickers may have a calling as a rancher! During Thanksgiving week of 2022, we spent a few days at my aunt and uncle’s ranch in Texas. The kids learned to feed the livestock, checked daily on the chicken’s egg production, and roam the property where Native Americans used to live. The […]

On our Thanksgiving road trip to spend time with family in Texas, we stopped off for a few days in Austin. Despite a very rainy day, we still set out by foot (12 miles in all!) and explored this city’s beautiful mix of eclectic and colorful street art. Do you have a favorite?

Is there anything more quintessentially New England than Cape Cod in the summer? After three weeks of  coastal cities to mountain towns, we ended our New England road trip at the Cape. Massachusetts’ arm-shaped peninsula is special in so many ways: clam shacks, rugged sand dunes, idyllic oceanfront homes, the undeveloped National Sea­shore beaches, and […]

Unfortunately, our kids are not as adventurous when it comes to eating…actually they are downright P-I-C-K-Y.  Truthfully, our son has been diagnosed with a food sensory disorder (also has nut allergies) and he despises certain textures and odors. Definitely makes traveling stressful at times. Nevertheless, we do our best and tend to grab street food […]

Like most people, I discovered Horseshoe Bend via Instagram and agree the bend is truly a highlight among all the great natural landmarks in the American Southwest. What you may not be aware of is that once you leave the parking lot, expect to walk for three quarters of a mile until you actually reach […]
