Our latest adventures!
Five days in Madrid is hardly enough time to experience all the city has to offer, and this blog post will not do those five days justice, however, I will attempt to document our experience before any more time slips by. So, here we go … Madrid is known as...
December arrived quickly and so did Dale’s work trip to Raleigh. We arrived on a Monday and checked in to the AC Hotel, which is situated next door to Dale’s corporate office. While Dale attended meetings and team dinners on Tuesday and Wednesday, I spent several hours at a nearby...
Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James, was declared by Pope Alexander VI in 1492 to be one of the “three great pilgrimages of Christendom”, along with Jerusalem and the Via Francigena to Rome. More than 200,000 pilgrims a year follow routes from France, Portugal and Spain to arrive at the...
June has come and gone, but not without bringing hot temperatures, humidity and a few adventures. At the beginning of the month, Dale and I had the pleasure of joining our oldest daughter and her family in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. We drove to Florida after work on Monday, slept...
Steamboat Springs, Colorado is a winter ski resort destination producing more athletes for the Winter Olympics than any other town in North America. However, we didn’t expect to experience the “winter” part of its charm when we left a warm, muggy Central Texas for a four-day adventure. Dale and I...
Williamson County has four major parks; Berry Springs Parks and Preserve, Champion Park, Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, and the newest addition, River Ranch County Park.

Every year I tell Dale, “We’ve got to take a drive and enjoy the wildflowers before they’re gone!” But somehow it never happens. This year it did! If you live in Central Texas, you know how beautiful the wildflowers can be. All through Spring you see families in the most...
I said that to Dale recently. “Dry skin?” he asks. I reply, “Nope, I’m just itching to get back on the road.” I’m even looking at cars with cartop carriers longingly. “Remember when we used one of those honey?” Sigh. It’s okay though. We’ve got a few adventures planned for...
Three weeks before Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Dale and I were traveling from one end of Israel to the other. It’s unsettling to consider how close our travel dates were to such an awful event. Even now the war continues. We are so blessed to have explored Israel...
Dale and I had a free week-long stay at a Wyndham Resort that was about to expire, so we planned an excursion to Fairfield Bay, Arkansas! It was really good timing too because we were celebrating our 30th anniversary on the 27th. So, on Saturday morning, November 25 we first...
