I'm so very proud to announce that the September issue of Tulsa People is out - which includes a four-page article I wrote that highlights some of the sights to see along Oklahoma Route 66! It's not an exhaustive list, but hopefully it inspires people to get out and experience the road for yourself. The … Continue reading Oklahoma Route 66 in Tulsa People Magazine

Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part II
After enjoying lunch at the Cozy Inn on Saturday, I set out to explore more of Salina, Kansas. You can read about the first part of my day here. For a town of about 50,000 it has a TON of beautiful architecture. The United Building, just a few doors down from the Cozy Inn, was … Continue reading Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part II
Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part I
"It feels good to not set an alarm," I told Samantha Friday night. She smiled a knowing smile and said, "Doesn't matter. You have road trip brain; you're gonna get up early anyway." She was right. Since I was planning a day trip through Kansas on Saturday, I woke without aid before 7:00 AM. By … Continue reading Sunshine and Storm Clouds: Part I

Ocean City was better designed for children, … Continue reading Coasting to a Close

A light breeze came from the ocean and gave everything a slightly salty tang. Monday morning, though, a storm system came to the coast & lasted all day. The top floor … Continue reading Rainy Days and Wild Nights
Shore Bound
I don't really like to fly. I'd much rather travel by car, but, that's not always practical. For example, the drive from Oklahoma to New Jersey takes 21 hours straight through. Flying gets you across the country in half-a-day. Since we were heading to the east coast to spend time with family, it was only … Continue reading Shore Bound
