We do so much together and I love seeing new and beautiful things with my hubby but sometimes it’s nice to venture out with the girls solo and I do that quite often. This time it was hubbies turn. They rode off on their bikes and spent the week on the road. The trip itself…

Sea World
People don’t realize when you travel for work you don’t get to see much. Most of my time is spent inside a convention center. I’ve visited some nice ones though. LOL Last month I was in Orlando and my hotel was right across from Sea World. This was actually a bucket list item for me…
Keeping It In Manuel Mode
Sitting on a plane after a one hour delay due to maintenance, the air conditioner seems to be stuck on heat, flight attendants trying to confirm number of passengers, communicating with the check in attendant, and specifically calling out my seat number, doesn’t exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling!

Sylvan Heights Bird Park
This day trip destination has been on my bucket list for a while, a great opportunity to get on the trike and ride! Sylvan Heights Bird Park in Scotland Neck, North Carolina is a great day trip destination sitting on 18 acres, surrounded by tranquil gardens and bordered by natural wetlands. A chance to get…
