For my birthday weekend 2020, we headed down to Memphis for a long weekend. When we left, COVID was just a small blip on the radar in Washington State. It would be the last trip we would go on for over a year...but what a great trip it was! We stayed in a wonderful two-bedroom [...]

Just a Saturday drive…
Took a drive a couple weekends ago just looking at the countryside... This was the "party bus" for a wedding that came in to the place we were having a drink...between wedding and reception. This last one was taken with my 1940's Voigtlander (120 film)
Chi-town!
I forgot I never finished this post so I'm writing this about 5 mos after we went to Chicago... After pretty much staying home most of the time while I was back in school, I wanted to GO SOMEWHERE when I graduated. So, we went to Chicago by Amtrak. I had been there several times [...]
It is done!
It is done! I have graduated! I graduated with my Associate of Arts Degree, with honors, on May 19th. The last semester kicked my butt with algebra, but that turned out to be the only B I got during all semesters…otherwise I got A’s. A lot of weekends of doing nothing but homework and studying, but [...]
Canadian Vacation
I know, I know...the title of the blog is SMALL trips with Tim and Chris...and we do do those, I promise! In the meantime, vacation in Toronto, Canada! Whew! It's hard to condense 10 days of a trip in a wonderful city into something that's not too long to read. Although we left in the [...]

Millstream Gardens, Fredericktown, MO
We did a day trip on the motorcycle to Millstream Gardens Conservation Area just outside of Fredericktown, Missouri, today. We rode down to Caledonia first and stopped at the Old Country Mercantile for a frappe, and then up the street to the Caledonia Wine Cottage for a drink and I got a sandwich (the Italian). [...]
New Orleans…real quick
We went to New Orleans back when our kids were small (hated it). I then went back with my mom in 2012 (loved it). So, the week after Christmas everyone had a break and the Mister surprised me with a short trip to New Orleans, Baby!! I was SO EXCITED when he told me we [...]
Coming up soon…Arrow Rock and Blackwater, Missouri
Louisiana, MO – from the Bike
LOUISIANA, MO (from the southwest, south, or southeast) The first question you may ask is: Why would I want to go to Louisiana, MO? Well, the only answer I can give is that it’s a cool little town with lots of history, a couple of good places to eat, and a cool historic “Route 66” [...]
