Things that happen and things we seek out

Tierra Del Mar, Oregon

Posted on August 16, 2019August 14, 2019 by Sandra

It is so odd to see huge rocks in the ocean and on the beach! Chris and I both grew up in Florida with flat, sandy beaches. Here in Oregon, huge rocks are just out in the ocean and huge rocks are along the shore. So much of the coastline is rocky and has cliffs,…

New Friends when Traveling

Posted on July 30, 2019July 25, 2019 by Sandra

We meet the nicest people when we travel. We were recently in Sun Valley, Idaho and we started talking to a couple that had a large motorhome for sale. Cynthia and Des are from Australia and they own a motorhome that they keep in the US. They fly into LA and get their motorhome out…

Bear Lake: The Caribbean of the Rockies

Posted on July 29, 2019July 25, 2019 by Sandra

When someone told us there is a lake on the Utah/Idaho border that looks like the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, we knew we had to see it! Apparently the turquoise color is due to the limestone deposits suspended in the lake. I will tell you: that water is COLD! I tried to get in…

Dinosaur National Monument – Harper’s Corner Road

Posted on July 25, 2019July 24, 2019 by Sandra

Yesterday, we talked about Cub Creek Road in Dinosaur National Monument. And the other day, we talked about the Quarry Exhibit Hall. Today we are talking about the Colorado side of Dinosaur National Monument. Did I mention this park is REMOTE? There is a small town called Dinosaur, Colorado right outside of the Colorado entrance….

Dinosaur National Monument – Cub Creek Road

Posted on July 24, 2019July 24, 2019 by Sandra

We posted the other day about the Quarry Exhibit Hall at Dinosaur National Monument. Today, we are talking about Cub Creek Road on the Utah side near the small town of Jensen. Chris wanted to see the petroglyphs and I was really surprised how close you could get to them. Back in 2010, we went…

Dinosaur National Monument – Quarry Exhibit Hall

Posted on July 18, 2019July 18, 2019 by Sandra

Chris mentioned to me that he really wanted to see Dinosaur National Monument.  I read mixed reviews saying the complete dinosaur skeletons in major museums are better.  Since we’ve seen a lot of museums in DC, New York, Chicago and Orlando with dinosaurs, I wasn’t sure I would like Dinosaur National Monument.  One thing to…

Our Neighbor is an Author!

Posted on June 27, 2019June 21, 2019 by Sandra

We really do meet the neatest people in our travels. Here in Breckenridge, Colorado, our neighbor Joanne is an author! She let us borrow a copy of her children’s book, Peter the Caterpillar. Chris and I have a silly thing we do – we sometimes read out loud to each other in bed. Back in…

Roof Racks in Colorado

Posted on June 2, 2019June 2, 2019 by Sandra

One thing I love about Colorado is that so many people have so many outdoor hobbies. It has been an unusually cold and wet May (now June!) and people are still skiing! I love seeing the skis and snowboards mounted in roof racks on top of cars driving down the road. Then you also see…

Browsing an Archery Shop, looking at the selection of recurve bows

Introduction to Archery

Posted on May 9, 2019May 8, 2019 by Chris

It’s great to meet new people and it’s even better to meet amazing people. Recently we made some new friends, Becky and Sharon, and in our conversation we learned that they were competitive archers! I have recently gained an interest in archery but had no idea where to start. I had looked at compound bows…

Gouda, Netherlands

Posted on December 13, 2018December 12, 2018 by Sandra

We were looking for a place to stay in or near Amsterdam.  We also wanted to visit The Hague and Rotterdam.  We ended up finding the perfect place in Gouda!  We didn’t know anything about Gouda except that it had a cheese market with, of course, Gouda cheese. The first thing we saw as we…

Poodle Spa Day at Lady’s Dog in Antibes, France

Posted on November 27, 2018November 16, 2018 by Sandra

James was due for a spa day while we were in France. We made an appointment at Lady’s Dog in Antibes, France. The owners/groomers have a sweet Afghan Hound puppy named Lady. While James was being groomed, we walked around Antibes. The best part of the spa day? The glitter that they applied as a…

Bocce is everywhere in France!

Posted on November 24, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

If there is a park or an open space in France, people are playing Bocce there! It is a SERIOUS sport here and the players are really, really good!

Did it Snow in the South of France?

Posted on November 23, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

We headed to the South of France for some sunshine and warmer weather. But the forecast predicted snow! The locals say it NEVER snows here.

Manual Transmission Chaos!

Posted on November 20, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

Sandra decided she wanted to drive while in Germany. The problem was, Sandra hadn’t driven a manual transmission car in over 20 years! How did she do? Sandra was obviously discombobulated while trying to sing Rodney Atkins, so here is the full song for you to enjoy:

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Posted on November 19, 2018November 5, 2018 by Sandra

It was a quick and easy train ride to Monaco from Villefranche-sur-Mer so we made a day trip out of it.  Monaco has one of the most beautiful, modern train stations: The Monaco Opera House: The slowest corner in Formula One – the famous Fairmont Hairpin turn: We did a little shopping and James was…

Plage des Marinières in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

Posted on November 14, 2018November 8, 2018 by Sandra

The Plage des Marinières is right by the train station in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France. When we arrived by train, we saw people playing on the beach with their kids and dogs. I was excited that the beach was dog friendly! We walked over there one day and the beach was empty. We saw a sign that…

Plage de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

Posted on November 13, 2018November 4, 2018 by Sandra

The sun is out and we are finally getting a taste of Spring weather! We decided to head down to the Plage de la Darse in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France. This is a small, hidden beach. It is behind the port and below the Promenade des Professeurs. The entire beach is pebbles, not sand. The water is…

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France

Posted on November 9, 2018November 4, 2018 by Sandra

We walked over to Cap Ferrat one day with James. We didn’t spot any celebrities (we were told Bono and Bill Gates have homes here) but we did enjoy the many lush plant-covered pedestrian paths. We stopped and took some photos along the water with James:
