Now that my 8-year old is finally tall enough to ride all of the rollercoasters, we turned the 6-hour drive into a 2 day, 2 night Labor Day weekend trip and made pit stopsContinue reading “America’s Roller Coast – Cedar Point, Rock & Roll, and Cuyahoga Valley, OH”

New Mexico Labor Day Weekend
New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment for good reason. As the nation’s fifth-largest state, it is so much more than a desert. In fact, I have never been to a state where the landscape changed so frequently, depending on which direction we were headed. The geographic diverseness, rich culture, and ancient historical sitesContinue reading “New Mexico Labor Day Weekend”

I often ask my girls what their favorite trip has been so far. My oldest always says Disney but my 7-year old says Kentucky – hands down.

Frankenmuth, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo and a Very Michigan 4th of July
This is where my travel addiction began. My first trip to Michigan, my husband’s home state, was in July of 2019. I didn’t know what to expect. Will it be flat? Are there really that many lakes and will they be Canada cold? The first thing to know about baseball in Michigan is, Michigan’s reallyContinue reading “Frankenmuth, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo and a Very Michigan 4th of July”
