Testing 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 ItCharming St. Simons Island, Georgia
I am constantly amazed at how many lovely islands are tucked away along the southern coast of the United States. Unique, beautiful places, many of which are still undiscovered and unspoiled by tourism. The Golden Isles, strewn along the quiet waters of the Georgia coast like the jewels in a priceless necklace comprise several enchanting … Continue reading
Pin ItCannon Beach, Oregon: Exploring the Northwest Coast
We thought we knew all about Oregon before my husband and I visited for the first time. Oregon is Pacific rainforest, we believed. It’s lush and green and it rains a lot. And there is some sort of coastline. With rocky beaches. And then we made a trip to Oregon and learned that it is … Continue reading

Pin ItRelaxing and Rejuvenating at the Lovely Treetops Resort
I’m not sure exactly when we fell in love with the quite wonderful Treetops Resort. It might have been when we saw the cheerfully decorated welcome sign in the blowing snow. Or it may have been when we first saw the lodge in the middle of a snowstorm. Or it might possibly have been when we … Continue reading
Pin ItLearning to Ski at Crystal Mountain
Last winter, we visited Michigan for the very first time and fell in love. In love with the astonishingly beautiful snow which I’m sure gets really old to those who live there and have to shovel their driveways and scrape their cars but we ADORED, in love with the friendly people, and in … Continue reading
