Where Do You Wanna Go?

I've assembled a travel bucket list for the past several years because I discovered my passion of travel when I was in my forties. Maybe it's because I've realized how quickly time passes, or maybe it's because of my oldest daughter's wanderlust, which has pushed me outside of my comfort zone. Can you say traveling to… Continue reading Where Do You Wanna Go?

Smothered, Covered, Chopped-Florida Spring Break Part Two

    I mentioned in part one the traffic hell we experienced on the road to Destin. Just after the Alabama rooster incident, Ella got car sick and had "sick" all over her clothes.

Really, all… Continue reading Why I Bring My Camera With Me to Get a “Life Changing” Cheeseburger

Return to Snake Island-Cedar Point Vacation 2015

  We got to go on a little family getaway last week to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio last week. What is Cedar Point, you ask? Well, it is only THE best amusement park in the Midwest, one could even argue the best amusement park in the USA really. The self-proclaimed "rollerCOAST" because Cedar Point… Continue reading Return to Snake Island-Cedar Point Vacation 2015
