Everglades National Park
We spent two days in the Everglades in January 2022, during our Florida in January trip. The drive from Key West to Everglades National Park was about three hours, but we broke it up with an early stop at Baby’s Coffee for coffee and a pizza bagel. The coffee is good and the pizza bagels…

Trip planning: Florida in January
Are we officially snowbirds? Wikipedia’s definition includes us: “A snowbird is a person who migrates from the colder northern parts of North America to warmer southern locales, typically during the winter… A significant portion of the snowbird community is made up of recreational vehicle users (RVers).” So then yes, we’re happily snowbirds, leaving gloomy Virginia in gloomy January for…

Grand Teton National Park
We visited Grand Teton in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. When I was a kid, I was gifted a Sierra Club engagement calendar, a datebook with a nature photo facing each week’s grid. One week’s photo was of the Tetons, and it spoke to me so strongly that I cut it out of…

We’re home!
