We depended on Yelp, and of course Google searches to find … [Read more...]
Earlier this month my family and I went on a much needed family vacation. Our first stop was Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia where we had a night booked. We had been a few times before and we didn't tell the kids where we were going, they had mentioned before they wanted to go back there so we knew they would be excited! Once we pulled … [Read more...]
Each summer, my daughter's Sea Scouts crew goes on a summer cruise for 10 days. They sail their ship (that they've worked so hard to maintain) around the local waterways and make stops along the way for some good old fashioned fun. Last summer my daughter was still pretty new to Sea Scouts and she wasn't quite ready to go on the cruise. This … [Read more...]
I have mentioned several times on my blog about how my husband and I are planning on retiring soon. We plan on taking a few road trips in the future to find our perfect place to settle in retirement.

You may have read my post about the trip I took to Europe with my mom when I was 18 years old {this was my graduation gift from my dad}, but today I want to write a little more about it. The month of February is always a little bittersweet for me, as my mom's birthday was February 19th. She passed away four years ago. This time of year, I always … [Read more...]

When we were heading home from Oregon, we passed through a little town called "Weed". I thought this was so cool, how the Mt. Shasta was just right there behind the gas station. If only we could all see that every time we went to fill up! … [Read more...]
