This past weekend, Cedar Key was host to the Hidden Coast Paddle Fest. Almost ever direction you looked around the Keys, your view would have a kayak in it. That is a great experience since they make no noise and cause no pollution and you know they’re all out there enjoying themselves immensely. The Hidden […]
Ahhh Trip Advisor, that ever evolving website that allows you to leave reviews of places you’ve visited or check on places you’re planning to visit. Trip Advisor is a great tool to use when searching out a new area and you want to cut right to the chase. You can find the best hotel to […]
Cindy and I were drinking our coffee on the white sand beach this morning as the sun came up. We sat listening to the gentle slap of the waves along the shoreline as we sipped on Columbia’s finest with each sip waking us up just a little bit more. This should be the way each […]
With a great nights sleep behind us, we awoke early this morning to tight and stiff leg muscles. What were we thinking yesterday? Who just gets on their bikes and goes for a 26 mile bike ride in 90 degree temperatures with really high humidity? Especially when the longest bike ride you’ve done in the […]
This past week Cindy and I celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary. We’ve been together for many more years than that, but only 16 of them were recognized by that little certificate claiming we were actually married.

We’d only been back from Minnesota long enough to catch up on emails, get our business caught up at the Low-Key Hideaway and get our clothes washed before we were leaving for Louisiana. I don’t know if you’d call this one a vacation since we’d be babysitting the entire time. Seeing the Grandkids and getting […]
After the last two days of partying, we were in need of some recovery. With today being Julene’s 50th, it didn’t mean we’d be lying in bed sipping Camomile Tea, but hopefully we wouldn’t be partying for 15 hours straight. The perfect recovery from a few days partying with the Smigiel’s is spending it on the […]
