Midlife Road Trip
Where Will You Be in 7 Years?
This photo popped up in my Facebook timeline. Not the greatest picture, but a good reminder where I was 7 years ago. And it made me start thinking about where I plan to be 7 years from now. Has it been 7 years since I took my travel dream into my own hands? 7 years since…

Old Faithful, Forever Faithful!
Keep reading for one of many Life Lessons from the Road… One thing I was looking forward to on this Midlife Road Trip was driving to and through Yellowstone park with Jessie Gunderson. I met Jessie online less than a year ago when she found my blog and commented. I commented back and we soon…

Denver on my Mind
