One of our Florida road trip’s main objectives, aka staycation, was to visit the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex. It had been more than a decade since we had visited. We did our research and saw that not only were we able to spend a fair bit of time exploring outside, but they also required…
Several weeks ago, we decided we REALLY needed a change of scenery from our home and a few local adventures. We opted for the Florida Space Coast as it’s only a few hours drive straight across the state. Both The Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex and Brevard Zoo were both mainly outside adventures, posted great…

Looking back through nearly 5,000 photos, writing several dozen blogs, and 100 or so Instagram posts, we’ve had a lot of time to reflect on our fifteen-day journey across India. Over 50 Travelers Okay, shortly, we’ll have to stop saying that as I’m looking at my sixtieth birthday approach, and Chuck celebrated that milestone…
