Is there more to life than sitting behind a computer?
Yes… Yes there is.
We are novice travelers, Amy & Brian. Since our three girls are grown, we find ourselves with more time to go out and have some new adventures exploring this beautiful world. We decided that creating this journal provides a place for us to gather our memories and share our experiences.
We enjoy our life with family and friends in Minnesota but know there is so much more out there to see and explore! Now’s the time for some fun in the sun, new foods, and new adventures.
The location may not yet be determined but we do know if we are doing it together, we will go places… literally.
As Amy always told our girls growing up… “Be the gas!”
