Thursday we traveled to Pawhuska, OK. This is the home of Food Network’s The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. Her intro says she lives in the middle of nowhere. It was the most rural place we visited, but it is a beautiful area. It was an hour north of Tulsa. We arrived in town a little…

Route 66 to Tulsa
Before leaving the OKC area we went west to Express Clydesdale’s in Yukon, OK. We got to see 5 of these beautiful, massive horses! They were all black and white which is a rare color as most of the ones you see are brown. Jeff had scheduled this tour ahead of time. We arrived and…
Oklahoma City, OK
We’ve talked about taking a trip to Oklahoma for YEARS! It’s always been a conversation and a trip that we’ve wanted to take. Our only regret is not doing it sooner and not being able to go with Jeff’s parents. Anytime we’ve told anyone where we were going on vacation we always got the question…
Las Vegas Travel Diary: Dining and Experiences
Jeff had a training class in Las Vegas in August and I tagged along. It’s been about 10 years since we were last there. Some things had changed and some had stayed the same. Everything seemed so much closer to the sidewalk. Some of the restaurants like Denny’s are still there but they have been…
2025: A Year of Memorable Travels
2025 has been a great year for traveling! We started in January with a trip to Guntersville, AL. We went to look for the bald eagles. I had seen lots of people talking about them on social media. We thought we found one, but after doing more research it was a crane hunkered down from…
Exploring South Pittsburg: The Lodge Cast Iron Museum
Back in July, we were coming back from the wedding of our nephew and new niece. We made a detour on our way home. From the Chattanooga area, instead of getting on I-59 South, we stayed on I-24. We stopped in South Pittsburg, TN at the Lodge Cast Iron Museum and store. They are open…
Chasing Fall!! Part 2
On rainy Wednesday we packed up and headed north about an hour and a half to Stowe, Vermont. But driving I had no sense of direction, it felt like we were going East not North. We were able to see more colors by going North. There were some red in the mix. We arrived in…

Update: We stopped in on our trip in August 2025. I grabbed some updated pictures, so as promised I am updating this post. First off, we should have stopped on our recent trip for updated pictures. LOL! I know we’ve been there since these pictures were taken, but this is what I found on my…
Memories – Guntersville, AL
In January we had a long weekend and we looked for somewhere to visit. We talked about going to Chattanooga, a place we love and have visited often. Then we started looking at new places. We finally decided to stay close to home and visit Guntersville, Alabama. It’s about an hour and a half from…
