Last Days of Summer at The Beach Waterpark
School may have started in a number of locations but you still have plenty of beautiful, warm days left to visit The Beach Waterpark in Mason, Ohio. They are open until September 13 every weekend so make plans to spend the day at this fabulous place. Conveniently located just a short drive from Cincinnati, Ohio, … Continue reading
Pin ItTesting Our Limits at Adventures on the Gorge
Considering that West Virginia is one of our closest neighbors, it’s amazing that we haven’t done any sort of traveling there. We just discovered that this has been a huge mistake because Adventures on the Gorge is in West Virginia. And Adventures on the Gorge is amazing. Tom is a huge fan of cabins in … Continue reading
Pin ItGoing to the Dinosaurs with Jurassic Quest
Riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex is a good one to start the day. Especially for a dinosaur loving 9-year old. OK, technically the T-Rex was not alive but this is probably a good thing as you don’t want your face eaten off during a fun outing. When I heard that Jurassic Quest was coming to Lexington, … Continue reading
Pin ItShrimpin’ Aboard the Lady Jane
I knew how this cruise would go. We would meander around, see the backs of a couple of dolphins, everyone would ooh and aah, and we would head back to the dock. But first we would stay out way longer than anyone was actually interested, just long enough to get incredibly bored. I have had … Continue reading
Pin ItIt’s Not Too Late for a Michigan Ski Getaway Weekend!
Although daffodils are poking their little, bright yellow heads up in certain parts of the country, there are still plenty of snow and skiing options available in northern Michigan. Snow doesn’t melt in these parts until late in the Spring and there are lots of advantages to planning one more ski weekend before Spring truly … Continue reading
Pin ItMaumee Bay State Park Lodge and Conference Center
I’m just going to be totally honest; our expectations for a state park lodge were pretty low. In our experience, they are nice but not anything spectacular. You all. We could not have possibly been more wrong. Maumee Bay State Park Lodge and Conference Center is absolutely amazing. Located in the tiny town of Oregon, … Continue reading
Pin ItAn Idyllic Winter Getaway at Crooked River Lodge
Spring may be rapidly approaching but, in Michigan, winter still has a firm hold and this is perfect if you are not quite over your love of snow and related activities. Like us. Every trip we take to our new love, Michigan, we learn more about this amazing state, the scenic towns, and the wonderful … Continue reading
Pin ItCruise Tour on the Rum Runner II in Newport, Rhode Island
Since Newport, Rhode Island is an island (news to us until we actually visited), one of the best ways to see the place is from the water. A cruise tour with Classic Cruises of Newport was the way we accomplished this and it was one of the highlights of our visit. We did spend a little time … Continue reading
Pin ItHallmark Resort in Cannon Beach, Oregon
Staying at the Hallmark Resort in Cannon Beach was actually just an extremely happy accident. Before our Un-Cruise Adventures cruise on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, we decided we should see a little bit of Oregon since we had never been there. Since I am the beach lover and Tom is the mountain lover, … Continue reading
Pin ItSummer in Door County, WI
Door County is often referred to as the Cape Cod of the Midwest and, now that I have seen it in both winter and summer and have actually visited New England, I am here to tell you that this appellation is quite correct. This is a lovely, lovely place. Our daughter and grandson are … Continue reading
