I used to dream about taking my kids on an epic family vacation to Hawaii or somewhere like that, where we could experience all kinds of things for the first time together. I didn’t really think I would ever actually be in the position to make this happen. The reality that my oldest son and […]
Travel Adventures
Santa Monica
I’ve had a personal goal or dream to travel or go to a live event at least once per month. Without realizing it, I started to make that happen in 2019 in a small, lowkey way. I’d go take a paint class with friends, go out of town for a weekend, see a show on […]
Haiti Anyone?
A while back, I shared my adventures from Jamaica with you. That was my first time out of the country (besides Tijuana) and my first cruise. Jamaica was the first stop, but we also got to enjoy a day in Haiti. If you’ve been there, you know that the small part of the island we […]
Atlanta, Kind Of
I got to visit Atlanta, kind of, during the summer of 2013. I mean, I flew into Atlanta and rented a car and drove…south of the city. The trip was for a special and specific reason, though. My mother, my younger son, and myself flew into Atlanta to make the hour and a half drive […]
Snorkel Adventures
Have I shared that I love the water? Like, really, really love it? I nearly drowned when I was about two years old. My mother was surprised that I wasn’t afraid of the water after that. I suppose that warrants a quick recap of that incident. My family had a pool in our backyard. They […]
Oklahoma
Some of my family members reside in Oklahoma, which has prompted a few visits there over the past couple of years. My mom and I have visited and stayed with my aunt, which affords us the opportunity to spend time with a couple of my cousins, their kids, and one of their grandbabies. One of […]
A Day With My Brother
I am having serious travel withdrawals, like many others, I’m sure. Between the pandemic and some personal health things, I haven’t had as much opportunity to go explore as I would typically enjoy. So, for now, we’ll relive some old trips. My brother is only fifteen months younger than me. We love each other, but […]
Girl’s Trip to Emerald City
A group of five women from Las Vegas ventured off to explore Seattle in February of 2016. It was our second trip together and we were celebrating one of my closest friend’s birthdays. I used to see movies or hear about girl’s trips, but had never really experienced one until I started going with this […]
