Have you ever arrived in a town and knew you were going to love it at first glance? That’s the way I felt about this fairy-tale island called Mackinac Island when we first visited 12 years ago. And again this year for our anniversary. It’s one of those places that you say “If I ever win the jack...

Day 1 We started out on a Saturday morning by picking up a rental car in San Francisco. Then headed north over the golden gate bridge into Mendocino County. Luckily missing any early morning traffic. It’s a beautiful and slow going drive along Highway 1. There are plenty of beaches and hiking...

And all the fascinating places he described that he’d visited. As a 10 year old, that seemed like the perfect life. Just wandering fr...

Situated about 41 miles from Aspen Colorado is a town called Glenwood Springs. We chose to make this a stop for the night to break up our train journey from Illinois to California. There is so much to see and do in this small town that we’d recommend staying longer if you have the time. As soon...
