What is there to see and do in Prague? If you consult any guidebooks or “must-see” lists on-line - there is one item that is always listed first - Prague Castle. I have been to a number of castles over the years - but this was an absolutely unique visit. This is the largest castleContinue reading "Day 6 – Prague Castle"
Day 5 – Vienna, Austria to Prague, Czechia by Train
I enjoy train travel in Europe. Why? It is easy to get from city-to-city, the trains are modern and on-time, and the entire travel experience is less stressful than dealing with airport security and flight delays. The train ride from Vienna to Prague was a little over 4 hours. Andrew got us seats with aContinue reading "Day 5 – Vienna, Austria to Prague, Czechia by Train"
Dining and Drinking in Vienna
Bon Appetit! One of my favorite phrases when traveling! I enjoy sampling regional food and beverages when traveling - both domestically and abroad. To prepare for culinary adventures before my trip I watch YouTube videos, read travel guides and various reviews in an attempt to identify things that might be on a “must try” list.Continue reading "Dining and Drinking in Vienna"
Day 4 – The Schonbrunn Palace
Baby it is cold outside … Andrew and I on the hill above the Summer Palace That is an apt description of our second full day of museum visits in Vienna. After spending the previous day in the historic area of Vienna - it was time to hop on the train and head out toContinue reading "Day 4 – The Schonbrunn Palace"
Day 3 – Museum Day in Vienna
Today was our first major “Museum Day” in Vienna. I am not a great person to travel with to Museums - as I like to stop and read everything. Often when traveling together as a family - everyone else would be finished and I was only half way through the exhibits. There is an oldContinue reading "Day 3 – Museum Day in Vienna"
Day 2 – Jet Lag, Vienna City Walk & St. Stephen’s Cathedral
I hate jet lag. While I love traveling to new places - I have never really figured out how to cope well with jet lag. I have read the countless “how-to” columns on how to deal with jet lag - drink lots of water, avoid alcohol on long flights, try and stay up and getContinue reading "Day 2 – Jet Lag, Vienna City Walk & St. Stephen’s Cathedral"
Day 1 – Pasco, Washington to Vienna, Austria

I also plan to incorporate some short video clips in addition to the normal snapshot pictures in future entries. IContinue reading "Day 1 – Pasco, Washington to Vienna, Austria"
Riding the Rim at Crater Lake National Park
It was the last RV trip of 2025. It seems like such a short time ago I was getting ready for the camping season with some new gear, lots of cool reservations and the eager anticipation for another season in the Atlas. Trips to Lake Chelan, Deception Pass State Park, and Traverse City, Michigan wereContinue reading "Riding the Rim at Crater Lake National Park"
Day 22 – Havre, Montana to Richland, Washington
The Last Day! We got up bright and early at 5 a.m. for what promised to be a 650 mile driving day from Havre, MT to Richland, WA. It was time to depart! After 21 days on the road - we were both eager to get back home to Washington. I had my fresh brewedContinue reading "Day 22 – Havre, Montana to Richland, Washington"
Day 21 – Minot, North Dakota to Havre, Montana
The next to the last day. We left the Mellow Moose Campground in Minot, North Dakota - train whistles still going - and headed out for a 500+ mile driving day with an overnight stop planned in Havre, Montana. The National Park Service has just over 430 different units - and I always check ourContinue reading "Day 21 – Minot, North Dakota to Havre, Montana"
