Another weekend meant another chance for a little adventure! We had a free night award with Hilton, good for any location, and Reedi had been dreaming of the beach. Since it’s been so warm at night along our part of the Gulf Coast, we thought using the free night for a beach getaway would be the perfect way to escape the heat and enjoy some ocean air! Even though it was just a regular two-day weekend, it gave us plenty…

During Spring Break of ’24, we embarked on a special family road trip through the Northeast. It was one of those trips where everyone flew in from different places – Reedi and I from New Orleans, our son from Austin, and our daughter from Atlanta – and we all met up in Baltimore. From there, we kicked off an amazing eight-day adventure, winding our way through Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. As the…

In August of ’22, we made a trip to the Pacific Northwest. We flew into Lake Tahoe, made our way west to Northern California, then spend a week traveling up the west coast through California, Oregon, and Washington. During that trip we visited Lassen Volcanic National Park, Lava Beds National Monument, Crater Lake National Park, The Oregon Coast, The Columbia River Gorge, and Olympic National Park. Many nights of the trip were spent SUV camping, with the occasional hotel room…

It was the depths of Covid. We had an Alaskan cruise planned that was cancelled due to the pandemic. So, we looked a little further down our bucket list and decided a Colorado road trip was a wonderful second option. We quickly switched gears and booked our flights. Our two ‘little ones’ were in high school and college at the time and Reedi and I knew then that there were only so many ‘family’ vacations ahead of us.
