What a week aboard the Carnival Valor! We were thirty-seven in our group, almost evenly matched in dance leaders to followers! So many of us have been together on cruises in the past that the day of embarkation is a grand reunion of friends. And then there are new...
It's been a fun week in this town in which we grew up and raised our kids. We both remember Williams Park as a great place to rendezvous with our friends back in our high school days and Karen and siblings were members of the City Harmonica Band that performed in this...
After a delicious long lunch at The Hangar at Albert Whitted Airport enjoying the company of our longtime friend Susan, we repaired to the home of Pete and Debi. We always enjoy a visit with this fine family enjoying fine cuisine including some homegrown ingredients...
In popular culture the holiday season ends with New Years Day but the liturgical season of Christmas ends tonight. That means that we enjoyed another family visit during the season. Gary joined us for a visit with Michael, Cathy, and Emily. Unfortunately Ed &...
What memories this place holds! The library at St Paul's School has a special place in our hearts. All three of our offspring had the opportunity to explore the wonder of books. There may still be a few volumes here that we donated to the collection. Steve enlisted...
It's an unassuming shelter for a bus stop on 77th Avenue N. Will never show up in a list of architectural wonders, but for us it unleashes a flood of memories of good times with CJ as she was making her transition to independent adulthood. She would often travel by...
While his parents stepped out to enjoy a couple hours with a friend who grew up in the Big Easy, Linus entertained his grandfathers. The three of them explored many of the combinations and permutations possible with his multi stacking toy. A little later Linus and...
The two of us have wanted to attend Mass here since Sunday February 21,1971. Along with Becky, Karen's roommate, we made a quick trip to New Orleans to experience Mardi Gras over a twenty-hour period the weekend prior to Fat Tuesday. Today we participated in the...
On Friday December 22, 1995 Steve hung up his hard hat and became a Stay at Home Dad while Karen pursued a full time career in pharmacy. Many folks had a problem with our gender bender approach but it worked well for us and we believe our kids have fond memories of...
Thought we'd be trekking south by now on a slow and rambling route to the Big Easy and our planned rendezvous with Linus, his parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles. However we underestimated how much time it would take to get out of the house for a multifaceted trip at...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
Enjoy exploring, and leave us comments! We love hearing from you. And if you’d like to follow us, Subscribe by signing up at the bottom of this page.

So much has happened since our last post. We'd love to go into greater detail about every adventure but it's time we got you caught up to where we are now. Hopefully we'll do a better of job of timely posts going forward. It was way back on Tuesday July 11th that we...
We’re on the move again heading in a westerly direction. We left Ohio on Friday and set up for two nights at the Bluffton/Fort Wayne South KOA Journey near Fort Wayne, Indiana. As is typical for us, we made plans on the fly. We made the campground reservations on the...
It's been five weeks since we arrived in Ohio and we've had three different long stays, six nights at Nimisila, ten nights at Winklepleck, and sixteen nights moochdocking behind our son's family's house. Besides the fabulous week at üCamp, it's given us the...
