Around 2:30pm on Saturday, May 30th, we arrived in the very small town of Whittier and saw the Discovery Princess ship waiting for us at the port. There are only about 270 residents in Whittier, and nearly all of them live in one 14-story building which also houses the...
On Wednesday Feb 11th, we had a VERY short drive to our next hotel near Disneyland. We could have just stayed in Redondo Beach and commuted, but we decided to move a bit closer and avoid potential traffic and longer days. We arrived early and headed to Downtown Disney...
On Thursday 2/5, we left San Diego and started our journey North toward Los Angeles. We made a quick stop near Torrey Pines golf course to see more of the Pacific coastline, drove past Mission San Juan Capistrano, and arrived at our hotel in Redondo Beach which is just...
We arrived in San Diego Saturday afternoon and headed to our Airbnb in the University Heights neighborhood. For this three-week trip, we wanted to be able to cook and eat in as much as possible because eating out for three weeks is not at all appealing, so we’re staying...
Our 2026 snowbird adventure has begun, but it’s just Mark and I – we did not bring RoVer Too along on this trip. To mix things up a bit, we decided to fly the friendly skies instead of driving the open road, and we hopped a flight from Chicago...
Well, I had hoped it would stop raining, but so far, not much luck! It rained pretty much all day in Tulsa on Saturday. In the afternoon, we went to the Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center where they honor the legacy of Black Wall Street before and...
Our final day in Albuquerque was Wednesday 10/15, and we really didn’t do much – restocked at the grocery store and made a trip to Planet Fitness. Thursday morning, we headed East to the town of Tucumcari, New Mexico. It’s one of the many towns that thrived in the...
We arrived in Albuquerque Tuesday afternoon. The scenery as we drove South from Raton was really beautiful, and the area along I-25 was dotted with lots of large yellow bushes. I looked it up and it’s called Chamisa, or “Rubber Rabbitbrush”…say that 10 times fast! ABQ is a busy...
We’re not in Kansas anymore! On Tuesday, we continued our journey West, crossing into Colorado and then heading Southwest to Colorado Springs. I’ve only spent a little time in Denver, and have always been so fascinated by the beauty of Colorado, so we’ll actually be spending four whole days...
We are on the road again…and have spent most of the past nine days literally on the road, driving to Western Kansas where we are currently. Of course, we can’t just drive day after day, so we did make some stops along the way and see some sights! We...
