Princess for a Day

Hello friends! Greetings from Denmark! On Sunday we concluded our week on the Disney Magic sailing through the Norwegian Fjords. I am still working my way through editing photos, but I took the...

Cruisin’ the Norwegian Fjords

Howdy all – I’m finally back with pictures and stories about our cruise through the Norwegian fjords! Thanks for your patience while I got things edited and organized. We started our...

R&R Recap

Ahhh, home sweet home. Was great to get away but oh-how-fantastic it feels to be home. And with a sweet welcome from the girls too! Our last two weeks in Denmark and Greece flew by. In Denmark we...

Idyllic Innsbruck

We just wrapped up our fourth and final week of our 2019 R&R trip in a place that was about as opposite as you could get from Minnesota and Florida–Innsbruck, Austria! We found a lovely...

Fire and Ice (Ice-cold Sarah, that is)

In the second week of our trip we made a last-minute decision to extend our trip by one day (leaving Sunday July 11th instead of Saturday July 10th) so that we could try and see the active volcano...

Stretching our Wings in Paris

I am woefully tardy on this update, but here goes, because late is better than never, right? So, about Paris. It was grand. But you knew I was going to say that. Because who DOESN’T like Paris? Oh...

Cruising in 2025: Old People, New Technology

Sarah here. Coming live to you from the beautiful Regal Princess. We’re on day 11 (out of 13) of our British Isles cruise. Nick and I are seeing the sights with 3500 of our new cruise buddies—98% of...

Off to a Rough Start

It was our first port day in Cork, Ireland and we’d decided to rent a car to explore the countryside. In Ireland they drive on the opposite side of the road, but we’d driven that way in Malawi and a...
