We have our first blog!

This Blog is dedicated to our 3 daughters, Jennifer, Kelly and Karin, who have been after us to share our travel adventures, misadventures and pictures of all the places we wander through. Thanks to them, the past 32 years have been jam-packed with road trips to all parts of the US and Canada. "Can we go? Huh? Can we, can we, can we go" were some of our favorite words and thankfully, we did not hear a lot of "are we there yet?".

We should also thank our parents, four great individuals that looked for every opportunity to take a ride or go on a vacation. Keith's parents made every trip an adventure. The car may have only rolled 100 miles in a day, but you could bet, no stone was left unturned, no scenic turnout was missed and every good eating spot was explored. My parents would load up the car and we would leave at the crack of dawn for a drive or a trip. Some of the most scenic rides were when we were "lost" (somehow my dad always knew where we were going) and the hotels always had the best swimming pools.

It has been a true blessing to be able to keep up those family traditions of packing up the kids and heading for "parts unknown". It really doesn't matter to us if you have to fly, drive or take a train. We've been told that we must certainly have gypsy blood because we're always ready for another road adventure. Now that we're "empty nesters" it's even more fun to take off for a day or two and explore the back roads. Please don't get me wrong, we love being able to relax at home. Still, nothing is better than hitting the open road.

It would be too hard to recap 32 years of travel, so we'll just start with January 2009. So, come along and enjoy the pictures and the journal.

God Bless and Travel Safe!
Keith and Mary
