Travel blog!

MUCH better week this week!! This is due in no small part to the arrival of my dad and stepmom, who flew down Friday to spend a few days with us on our #2021LemonadeTour. So wonderful to see them again; with the exception of a few hours in December, we […]

The last time I posted, we’d made it to a hotel suite in Cedar Park, Texas. At that point, we thought we’d only be spending one night there before moving on to our vacation rental, which we initially couldn’t reach due to ice on the roads. Little did we know, […]

Once every 100 years or so, the city of Austin gets hit with a winter storm. Lucky (??) for us, we are here to witness the historic event! By Wisconsin standards, the weather isn’t a big deal at all—a covering of ice, some light snow and wind chills in the […]

When we were planning this leg of our #2021LemonadeTour, we all agreed that five weeks in Sedona would be more than enough time. Ohh, foolish family. When will we learn that when we land in a beautiful spot, no time will ever be enough? I sound like a broken record […]

Apologies to all of you back home who are getting slammed with winter weather. The Sedona snow is gone, and we are having an absolutely beautiful week here in Arizona! I’m not sad that we got to see the snow fall here. Having one cold and crappy week has made […]

I need to write a quick update (even though I already posted and shared a bunch of snow photos earlier this week). My brain is all over the place, and I have to sit down and corral my thoughts here before moving on to write or edit anything else. Thank […]

So I’m here in my fuzzy slippers and pajama pants, wrapped in a fleece blanket. I’m sitting in front of the fire, drinking my coffee and watching the snow come down in big, puffy flakes. Back in Wisconsin? Nope. Still in Sedona. When we decided to come to Arizona, even […]

I believe with my whole heart that travel is one of the only things you can buy and walk away richer. Lucky for me, my immediate family feels the same way. We first started talking to my sister Becca and her husband, Andy, about coming to visit us in Sedona […]

In its travel marketing and promotional literature, Sedona has deemed itself “The Most Beautiful Place on Earth.” And every morning, when I wake up to towering red rock formations and impossibly blue skies, I have a hard time arguing with that title. Added to that are its amazing weather, quirky […]

About 14 months ago, in November 2019, Tony and I breezed through Sedona, Arizona, while on a road trip from Phoenix to Albuquerque. We were barely here long enough to have lunch, but it was more than enough time for both us to fall in love with the red rock […]
