just passing it along

I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change. -- Jim Rohn

I found this quote on a travel site I had never been to before but find it very interesting. 1000tips4trips.com

Richmond, VA maybe going maybe not

I am currently debating a trip to Richmond, Virginia. Scott will be in Richmond for work form the 9th to the 24th of October and now I am just wondering if I should drag the baby over there and if so should we go by car or plane. As with before the plane is still more expensive but the car takes longer. With travel there is always a debate like that especially when money is tight. I'll let you know.

pack for all weather

Just a reminder to check the weather channel before you take a trip. It is in the 80's here everyday and most nights but in Albany, New York where my husband just flew on Monday a cold front went through and now it is in the 40's at night and low 70's during the day.

In your blood

Travel is in your blood. It fills your life and if you do it right it fills your mind too. I feel this need to travel that I can not explain. When I do it I am happy. No matter where I go or what circumstance takes me there I am happy. That was so true in Troy, AL we were there because of hurricane Gustav but I was totally happy being there in a hotel for days with nothing to do. I had a wonderful time with my husband and toddler just finding things to do.

We spent a bit of time at a park right on Highway 231. You can't miss it, there is a huge helicopter on top of a pole in the park. We had a good time wondering around this park reading all the plaques and monuments dedicated to fallen veterans of Troy and Pike county dating back to the revolutionary war. A great place to let the little one run around and some shade can be found under a tree or in the gazebo. It looks like they may have small performances there of some kind.
