“All you need is the plan, a road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.” -Earl Nightingale

January 2026

We went with Matthew on a Princess cruise out of Galveston to these three Caribbean cities. Trip highlights were snorkeling in Cozumel, the monkey and sloth reserve in Belize, and the nature boat ride in Roatan.

Fall 2025

The trip of flexibility…not entirely what we planned, but we are having a special time, nonetheless.

Trip highlights were a long stay at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama; Halloween at Roan Mountain; camping in a field in the fun and funky town of Floyd, Virginia; touring Clemson University; Matthew coming to stay with us for a week; a walking tour of Charleston; watching Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil; and Thanksgiving in Jacksonville.

Summer 2025

Trip highlights included the Johnny Appleseed memorial, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Traverse City, wineries, the Spam Museum, and Dallas, Texas to visit Matthew.

Spring 2025

Trip highlights included the Fire Ant Festival in Ashburn, Georgia, and meeting up with Dave and Kathy Smith at Lake Alltoona in Woodstock, Georgia.

Fall 2024

Trip highlights include buying our beautiful new-to-us motorhome! We drove her home through the beauty of Arizona and New Mexico, visited the UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico, and went to Anna, Texas, to visit Matthew.
