Welcome!
We are Jeff and Crystal, a Baby Boomer couple who love exploring this big blue marble we all call home. After spending the first portion of our lives together raising a family, the empty-nest syndrome finally caught up with us. This has given us the opportunity to spend more time traveling and seeking out new destinations. We developed this website with the goal of showing how we “Visit Like A Local”. Our itineraries are designed to get us off the interstates, and into the heart of the places we visit. We believe this will allow our readers to choose a cultural experience, and eventually head home with a real flavor of the places they visit. We are thrilled you have decided to spend some time with us and hope you enjoy this website. Feel free to kick the tires and take it for a spin. Check out some of the places we have visited and maybe find some spots you’d like to add to your next vacation. Be sure to check back regularly, as we add new articles three times a week. Better yet, just sign up for our email list and we will send you each article when it’s released. Travel safely!
Let Us Show You Around!
Traveling is a passion for us. Our goal is to visit all 50 states and we are more than half way 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, so that we will be able to showcase 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. Thanks for following!
