Places we visited during our travels.
We live in Orlando Florida The vacation capital of the world If you are like many people, you probably can’t wait to come to Florida. We have great beaches, a lot of water for swimming, boating and fishing, and of course more theme parks and tourist traps than anywhere else in the world. You can […]
Of course it’s Fort De Soto! Great beaches, fishing, campingand much, much more If you love beaches, water and camping, this is one place you need to visit. Fort De Soto is a huge county park that sits in the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of Tampa Bay. The park comprises five islands totaling […]
But first… How did we end up in Spring Lake Michigan? The Grand River, the longest river in Michigan, flows into Lake Michigan in Grand Haven. Grand Haven is the town where I was born, as well as my dad and grandfather. While I left the area almost 50 years ago, I still have plenty […]
Our Trip through New England – Maine and Vermont We had big visions for New England and spent 6 days there. While we did get to spend three evenings with old friends in Maine that we really enjoyed, we ran into a few snags while we were there: First…I broke my eyeglasses and had to […]

We’ve loved our whole trip, but it is nice to be back down south. Of course we did trade-in some beautiful 70 […]
The Lighthouses, the Beach, the Grand River, Lake Michigan, and of course…the Musical Fountain! While Grand Haven is my home, loaded with old friends and memories, it’s something completely different for other people, and something I thought was worth writing about. For them, it’s their summer playground. It’s the escape for many people from Western […]
With Family & Friends A week ago we made it to Grand Haven, Michigan. Not only is this where I grew up, but my Grandma, Grandpa, Dad and I all started our lives on the same block. It’s a small town on Lake Michigan, that everyone loves! In the winter it’s full of snow, but […]
Extremely Northwest Yesterday was two weeks that we’ve been on the road, 4,004 miles ago! We’ve made it to our furthest point away from home; as far as you can go in the contiguous United States. We even had to get our passports out twice and cross through Canada and back to get here. We’re […]
