Though it doesn’t seem possible that summer is coming to an end I suppose it’s true as we’ve celebrated the holiday that traditionally marks this time of year: Labor Day. For Labor Day this year, Rick and I opted for something a little closer to home yet still across the border and so that’s how
When we went to Portugal last spring, we made our home base in Lisbon and booked a day trip out to Sintra. I’ll be honest and say that Rick and I did not do much planning for this trip and kind of just went along for the ride with what my family wanted to do,
Recently a friend came to visit us and while she’s seen a bit of Colorado over the years coming out to visit us, there is one National Park in our great state that she hadn’t been to yet: The Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. The Sand Dunes are quite a sight as it looks like

And, even more fortunately for me, she was able to get away and join me on a quick weekend in San Francisco – one of our favorite travel destinations. We
I recently had the opportunity for a quick weekend getaway with my sister to San Francisco and I immediately went online and looked up ghost tours. My sister, like me, loves haunted history and we make a point to book ghost tours when we travel as a family so she was more than down to
Ready to go country and practically lose all your hearing for a day or two? Then you’ll want to travel to Nashville, AKA Music City!
