Short jaunts that are worth mentioning.
This was our second trip to the observatory. The first was the storytelling night, and the second was the opportunity to actually look through some telescopes! We arrived at the Veen Observatory near Lowell, Michigan around 9:15pm after resting up from our day in Grand Haven. There were quite a...
Every home in the Heritage Hill District of Grand Rapids has a history and the Meyer May home, which is just a couple of blocks from where we are staying, has a very interesting one. We came across it as we were taking a walk one morning. I told Dale...
There are so many charming lakeside towns along Michigan’s coast and Saugatuck is definitely one of them. Unfortunately everyone agrees with me and was in town the day we visited! Ha! We headed to Saugatuck, which is about 45 minutes from Grand Rapids, on a Sunday after church. After trolling...
Mondays have turned in to our hiking days. Shortly after Dale gets off work we go to a trail that is not too far away that will give us the biggest return for our effort. Buzzards Roost was just such a trail. It’s less than 10 miles away and the...
Last Monday evening we drove about 30 minutes outside of Rapid City to a trail I found on the AllTrails app. Creek Caves Trail is located just off a windy road in the Black Hills Forest. The entrance was a nondescript metal gate opening into a wooded area. If it...

On Monday of this week we got up early and retraced our route back to Oxnard, California to attend Dallas Cowboy Training Camp. We had not originally planned to do this, but when Dale realized how close we’d be while in Anaheim, he took the day off so we could...
Our last day in Napa we headed back to San Fransico for a guided sunset tour of the Point Bonita Lighthouse, which is located at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. We were hoping to get a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge too, but once again, it...
Our first Thursday in McKinleyville, California we headed a half hour away to hike the Trillium Falls Trail. It was the perfect choice for our first deep dive into a Redwood Forest. Not only was it extremely beautiful, it was easy to access and had plenty of parking (which is...
Mount Bachelor looms large in the distance almost everywhere you go in Bend, so Dale and I agreed we should check it out, even though it is primarily used for winter skiing. When we arrived we found a hive of mountain bikers buzzing around the parking lot and trails. There...
