A Snowy May in Steamboat Springs

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...

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...

Easter weekend we went camping at Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown. When I made the reservation months ago I didn’t realize it was Easter. The weather was nice, the wildflowers were plentiful and the company was exceptional. Then on April 8 we joined the Sharrick Family at their lake...

Israel: A Trip of a Lifetime

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...

A Glimpse of Fall Colors in Arkansas

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...

We Bought a House!

We bought a home in Georgetown! It is good to have a home base again. Before selling our home in May 2022 we were already thinking about where we’d want to live next. We expected that our travels would help sharpen our focus and expectations, and it did. Though we...

Moon River From 1,000 Feet

I really wanted to create one video that represented our Moon River adventures. I selected just a few of the many videos we took along the way. I was not able to show everything we experienced but I think this gives you a good idea of how amazing our journey...
