Lake Champlain and Burlington
We have always wanted to visit Vermont as a couple, but it is quite a distance from Chicago, so we’d put that idea on hold. This summer, however, our oldest daughter was offered a wonderful position at a camp in Upper State New York. We had to drive her there for the summer, and originally had considered crossing the border into Canada for a few days. Given that the border was currently closed due to Covid, however, we realized this was the perfect opportunity to finally explore Vermont! First stop, Speculator, NY…. Read More
New York City and Demonstrators
This week, I’m sharing a few NYC moments we experienced with our daughter in celebration of her 21st birthday, both enjoyable and somber. New York City…the Big Apple. Every time we visit, it’s like discovering a brand new destination. There is so much to see and do, we could spend weeks here and still not run out of things to do.

Outer Banks, NC Photoblog

It became the perfect destination to visit with my parents, whom we had not seen in over two years due to both Covid and previous illness preventing us from getting together. Here are a few photos we snapped from our travel to and time in the Outer Banks. First, photos from the Williamsburg area…. Read More

Say the word “Williamsburg” and you may automatically think of historical treasures, museums, and “Colonial Williamsburg”. It is all of this and much more.

The beautiful College of William and Mary makes Williamsburg its home. It was chartered on February 8, 1693, by King William III and Queen Mary II of England. It is the second oldest institution of higher learning in the United States,… Read More
Exploring the Icefields Parkway – Alberta, Canada
Traveling to Calgary, particularly Banff and Lake Louise, has always been a dream of mine. Anyone who’s ever seen photos of this destination understands exactly what I’m talking about. The soaring Canadian Rocky Mountains with their steep slopes and jagged edges, the greens and blues of the lakes and rivers! Please see below.

Instead of visiting during the summer when the colors are most… Read More
