On a Mission (or 5) to visit the Alamo

We wanted to take a short vacation before June.  We decided on San Antonio!  James had never been there and Julie visited 30 years ago with her college friends when they drove to South Padre Island one Spring Break.

We booked our flights intending to leave early evening with arrival in San Antonio around midnight thinking this would give us 4 full days to explore.  Well, like the last time we flew out of DSM, best laid plans…..  Our original flight was canceled and we were rebooked on flights the following morning.  We arrived in San Antonio around 12:30p the following day which still gave us plenty of time to visit the River Walk and a few other attractions outside of downtown.

Check out the San Antonio Jaunts page to read about the rest of our adventure!

James also added 3 “Joyride” pages from 2008.  Take a look!

Our 2022 Christmas Vacation

We decided to take the week leading up to Christmas and get away to a warmer climate. It turned out to be great timing since central Iowa had sub-zero temperatures and strong winds while we were gone. We loved our time in Jamaica, but the travel aspect could have been better. Check out the whole story on our Journeys – Jamaica 2022 page.

A weekend of shopping, comedy, furry felines, & 80s hair bands!

We experienced a variety of activities last weekend in Minneapolis. 

Shopped ‘til our feet hurt at IKEA and The Mall of America. 

Laughed at satirical skits at The Brave New Workshop

Pet and played with cats at The Café Meow.

THEN . . . . .

After waiting 2 years to attend the Stadium Tour of Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Poison, & Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, we sang along with all the bands as they rocked US Bank Stadium.

More Jaunts and Journeys

Over the weekend we spent time reviewing what we already had posted as well as adding two new Jaunts and one new Journey. You can now look at:

2004 Cruise

2006 Southern California

2006 Las Vegas

Hope you enjoy. Please be patient as we’re getting close to the end of the ones we can copy from prior notes so it will take a little longer to get trips posted. We’re also looking for the original film photos from some of the early trips to see if we can get larger scans.
