Today we spent the day at White Sands National Park, including walking 4 different trails and walking a total of almost 6 miles. If that wasn’t enough, we also did some sledding down the sand dunes. Interestingly, we only saw young kids doing that, with their parents supervising. I guess we are kids at heart…… Continue reading White Sands National Park

Cold birthday
I spent much of my day reading and responding to birthday text messages throughout the day, and of course, had to include a Starbucks visit to claim my free drink. Claudette had one ingredient missing for my “traditional” Tiramisu birthday cake, so a store bought cake it was for this year (no worries, I have… Continue reading Cold birthday

Claudette pulled out her “go” backpack and we simply had to cross the… Continue reading Yikes – Bad weather
We have arrived at the beach in the Florida Panhandle

This segment was an exception as our trip to Florida involved 3 stops in 4 days, so two one-night stops. Thankfully, we are here for 12 days and… Continue reading We have arrived at the beach in the Florida Panhandle
