It was a quick visit with family, just Thursday evening to Saturday morning, but it was packed with satisfying moments. We had a chance for some quiet conversations with Riley & Peyton talking about their upcoming plans and while they were at school, rehearsal,...
Yes, we're back at our mountain house having returned in late September. Yes, we are way way behind on our blog posts. Yes, we promise to get caught up on posting all of the great experiences we have had these last several months but we didn't want to miss out on the...
What an unexpected delight! When we headed to Marlin's Family Restaurant in Mitchell, South Dakota for a Sunday brunch, we never expected to enter a time warp, but suddenly Steve was transported back to childhood with the two-toned green 1956 Chevy Bel Air parked next...

The two of us left from üCamp on the 20th of last month to begin our 2021 Summer Ramble and over the course of thirty days had had adventures in just three states. From eastern central Ohio we'd traveled and explored parts of Indiana then on to Illinois. At Starved...
Today was a travel day, albeit a short one, from Rochester to New Salem, communities on either side of Springfield, Illinois. Our habit of late is to enjoy some leisure on either side of the travel. Thus we didn't plan to have anything worth blogging about. We'd...
Our visits to Bloomington, Indiana are always amazing but this visit has taken it to the next level. We were privileged to have the opportunity to moochdock in CJ & Phil's driveway over the busiest campground weekend of the year and to share a spirit of adventure...

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
