2008 West--35th Anniversary, Great Basin NP-Nevada, National Parks, Nevada, Road Trip, States, Utah
After a delightful weekend with Aunt Flo and Uncle Jack, we left Salt Lake City and drove west across the vast flat land that was once the floor of Lake Bonneville to Great Basin National Park. Discovered that the road to the Bristlecone Pine Forest was closed due to the weekend’s snow and had to settle for a look at a thirty year old baby bristlecone and forego a look at the oldest living trees in the world. Then headed further west across US 50 to Reno, Nevada, on a beautiful moonlit night.
2025, Caribbean, International, Mexico
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
2025, Florida, Road Trip, States
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
I LOVE that picture of the moon – so eerie and beautiful at the same time!
