It’s hard to believe that our road trip has come to a close. Our last day was filled with some memorable adventures. We woke up to an overcast morning at our bed & breakfast. You know what the best part of staying at a B&B is? The breakfasts! We started out with strawberries and bananas on a […]
Today was spent driving from Wisconsin, over the Mississippi River into southeastern Minnesota. Bridge over the Mississippi River toward Minnesota. *Cell phone + dirty windshield = grainy photo. You know how people who haven’t lived near the ocean, find it fascinating when they get the chance to visit? I think it is somewhat the same […]
Day 6 of our road trip began with gray, dreary skies and a chilly breeze. We decided to spend our time in Madison, Wisconsin by seeing the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, which were rated as the #1 attraction by Trip Advisor. As we left our hotel, we were faced by roads under construction. Summer […]
Yesterday, I mentioned the different ways that the residents of Green Bay honor their football team. Today, as we got ready to leave, we saw a couple more signs of fervent fans. The breakfast room at the hotel was filled with people wearing Packer football shirts. There was a young boy, about 10 years […]
We are officially halfway through our road trip through the upper midwest. (Feel free to read about days one, two and three). When we go on our road trips, not all of our destinations are necessarily known to draw tourists. Sometimes we have to spend the night in an area just because it is on […]
When friends heard that I was going to Michigan, every single one of them told me that I must go to Mackinac Island. To be honest, I was somewhat skeptical of whether or not I would like Mackinac Island. I tend to not enjoy what some people would call ‘tourist traps’. I was hopeful that Mackinac Island […]
Day 2 of our road trip was filled with quite a few firsts for me. My mother and I are on our fourth annual road trip and this time we are exploring the upper midwest. You can read about day 1 here if you like. Today, we woke up in beautiful Traverse City, with is located along […]
We have had a busy start to our upper midwest road trip. Our journey started with a 4 hour delay in our layover in Denver. Thankfully, it is a nice airport. We arrive in Grand Rapids and got straight to our hotel and collapsed. This morning started out with blue skies, dotted with puffy […]
I love to travel. A lot. For the past few years, I leave my husband and kids behind and embark on a road trip along with my mother where we explore a different region of the United States. We fly into one city, rent a car and several days (and states later) fly out of a […]
June is here, which marks the official beginning of hot, dry weather throughout the southwest. While most of us can be found indoors in the comfort of air-conditioning – your plants can be suffering from the heat and intense sunlight. May and June can be some of the most difficult months for plants in the […]
