Searching for Snow: The Grand Geneva Resort
The Great Snow Trip of 2014 began with the vague thought that it might be nice to go somewhere for my birthday on January 20. Somewhere different. Somewhere that Tom would like which meant…somewhere with snow. So I looked north. North to Wisconsin and Michigan where they had substantially more snow than we did – … Continue reading
Pin It5 Important Things to Know About Winter in Michigan
1. Seasonal Roads. Who knew? We southerners have never heard of seasonal roads, but they are all over northern Michigan. These are back country roads that are not plowed so the snow gets pretty deep. Most are used as snowmobile trails and it’s technically illegal to travel on them, although there are no signs that … Continue reading
Pin ItWe want snow and we want it NOW.
Ironically, we have actually returned from this trip to find plenty of snow on the ground here and schools closed. But we still adored all the snow we found on our trip, the great snow activities, and the wonderful people we met. More on all those topics soon, I promise. So Lexington, Kentucky is unseasonably … Continue reading

Pin ItFamily Getaway to Laketown Wharf Resort, Panama City Beach
The first time we trekked up to our apartment at the quite fabulous Laketown Wharf Resort in Panama City Beach, we all three hugged the wall all the way there.

Family Getaway to the Bay Point Wyndham Resort

Pin ItOne Night with a Barking Tree Frog
I lay in bed with the covers pulled up, just about to burst with fury. Someone had the nerve to walk their tiny, yippy dog this late at night, right outside the door of my room at the resort.
