I still have 1 more Florida recap to write, but haven't had a chance. I wanted to pop in and say hi and give a little update though. Re-entry In terms of post vacation re-entry, this was one of our best yet! We were away for a total of 9 nights and got home Sunday… Continue reading Touching base!
Good morning! Somehow it’s already Friday, and our last full day at the beach. Hard to believe we checked in way last Saturday?! Tomorrow (Saturday) we check out and start the drive home. We’ll stop somewhere overnight and be home on Sunday. It’s been a great week!! Thankfully, the only rain drops we’ve seen all… Continue reading Beach Report #3: Tuesday to Thursday
Hello! Left off on our first full day here, Sunday, and now it’s Tuesday morning. Sunday the weather did end up clearing, fortunately, though the ocean was churned up and we had a double red flag (ocean closed to swimming). Picking up where I left off: Sunday afternoon tea/relaxing on the balcony: Then a bunch… Continue reading Beach Report #2
We made it to the beach! Our family’s “recurring” destination (though not always every single year), Panama City Beach, Florida. We drove, per our usual tradition, even though it’s far from Wisconsin- about 16 hours plus stops! We left home Friday morning about 10 am. My sister, her family and my parents had headed out… Continue reading Dispatch from the beach 🙂

June!! Is long over now. As you can see by the (many) pics I selected above, the main focus of June was our trip to Zion National Park + Las Vegas. (See all the recaps here.) However, we were home for the whole beginning of the month. The focus of that half was Sectionals and… Continue reading June 2026 Recap
I’ve been feeling a teeny bit twitchy lately because this “extroverted introvert” has been camped pretty solidly on the “slightly too much togetherness time” side of the aisle for weeks now. NOT actually complaining, because obviously on our wonderful vacation, there was naturally a lot of togetherness time! And that’s a great thing. It’s just… Continue reading Lately
Saturday, June 27, 2026 Okay, for anyone following along in real time, we’re almost done! Saturday was technically our last full day, though we had a very late (11:45 pm 🥴) flight on Sunday night, so Sunday was basically another full day, too. But Saturday was our last full day at our Vegas hotel. Started… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 9: final Strip exploration, Portugal, Ká show, High Roller
Friday, June 26, 2026 *Note: Started this post on Saturday morning but didn’t finish it, so any mention of “yesterday” means Friday!* I think I mentioned original plan was Hoover Dam for yesterday, but as I sat drinking my tea and considering the day ahead, I realized it made more sense to do Hoover Dam… Continue reading Zion/Vegas Trip Day 8: Mexican brunch, Caesar’s, casino, Fremont Street!
