Summer is nearly here and if the idea of visiting another amusement park or sitting on a beach doesn’t motivate you to make vacation plans, consider a good, old-fashioned road trip. With the open road in front of you and time built into your itinerary to explore some small-town attractions along the way, your […]
Vote For Florida Gulf Coast Travel
Something I’ve learned since moving to Michigan is that Michiganders have this love affair with Florida. I have to admit that I didn’t really understand it. I mean, I get it, it’s C-O-L-D here, and Florida is not. But why not Texas or South Carolina? Why not Hawaii? Maybe Michiganders just really love Disney World. […]

Vote for Special Needs Family Travel
Life Changing Moments Achieved Through Travel My daughter, 4, boomerangs up and down the stairs to a waterslide meant for children much older.

Vote for Long Term Family Missions
Three years ago, our family sold most of our belongings and bought one-way tickets to Northern Ireland. We joined a missions organization there, to serve as support staff. It was a leap-of-faith, to say the least! Leaving behind our home, family and friends for the unknown was a risky move, yet, we had a peace that’s hard […]
