Categories: Season 0 – Before Full-timeContinue Reading: Cold Day & Wet Hair is not a good combo!After our visit to North Carolina, we had the opportunity to stay in the North Carolina mountains.

Cave Point County Park (Door County)
Categories: Season 0 – Before Full-timeContinue Reading: Cave Point County Park (Door County)Our trip to Door County was simply too short. We were there for 7 days, and we could have easily stayed another week or two. I cannot believe I’ve lived in the Midwest for most of my life, and this is the FIRST time I had been to Door County. Needless to say, we will…

Feeling the burn at Mountain Park Lookout Tower, Washington Island
Categories: Season 0 – Before Full-timeContinue Reading: Feeling the burn at Mountain Park Lookout Tower, Washington IslandWe’re avid bicyclers. Ok, we used to be. Sort of. Maybe we just think of ourselves as that. Though this is one trip that made us realize… we need get off the couch and bike more! If you know us, when we put our mind to something, we go all in. And that’s certainly no different…

Our Percolator and Cherry Coffee from Door County
Continue Reading: Our Percolator and Cherry Coffee from Door CountyThere really is nothing better than getting up early in the morning and sipping coffee as the sun rises. This is also my “me” time, since Gary can sleep until noon if I let him! I can work on editing pictures or videos (as I am this morning), or go for a walk outside when…

An Airbnb house on Lake Barkley, KY
Continue Reading: An Airbnb house on Lake Barkley, KYWe always seem to make the same mistake. Every Year. Was I thinking it was going to be comfortable in August? Sheesh! It was tropical weather-style hot and humid for our 5 day mini vacation. On the plus side, our back yard was by Lake Barkley. Where is Lake Barkley, you say? Well, it’s Kentucky Lake’s…
