Traveling is a passion for us. Our goal is to visit all 50 states and we are more than halfway there. Of course, some of these visits happened before we started this website. Well, we will just have to make a return visit to capture the wonder for all of you to see. Our trip itineraries are usually jam-packed with sites. That will allow many options for you to choose from when you visit a destination. Sometimes we will happen upon a place that doesn’t make it into an article, but is worth noting. Most of these will be seen in our Instagram and Facebook “Stories”. Follow us on these social sites to see all of these special treats. It’s a great way to keep up with us as we wander around. Be sure to sign up for our emails to make sure you catch every article. Thanks for following along as we explore this big, blue marble we all call home!
