Entries in the Travel/Destinations Category
This category consists of all the blog entries from our adventures in our Motorhome where we lived on the road for 4 years as well as any other travel related entries. It was an amazing journey and I love to look back through these entries, it makes me long for living on the road again, there was just something so freeing about it. However we have recently acquired “Nora’s Ark” and the adventures have continued to a lesser degree but it does satisfy my Wanderlust from time to time. So I invite you to look at the world through our eyes and perhaps get different view of the world around us.

It was a hard thing to do, but what was previously our travel blog website, dogparksandbrewpubs.com has been decommissioned. We now have visitors routed to the One Shoe Diaires where our blog now resides. But to keep the distinction between the old and new posts we created a category titled DogParks and Brewpubs which will [...]
Read the full entry »We went to The Brewer’s Art brewpub with Nanny in Baltimore. I read about on the internet and had to go. And to call it a brewpub is to call Mount Everest just a hill (or something like that). Anyway this place was incredible, the best brewpub yet. Starting with the food, which was gourmet, [...]

Feeling like we needed a break from real life for a day or so because of all that has happened to us, we planned a quick getaway from Rachie’s place in Port Charlotte to Key West.
Our getaway to Key West got off to a rough start, literally. First getting up at 5:30 to drive to [...]

It went off without a hitch this year as we worked in a different capacity this time. All I had to do was show up, take photos each day and hand my [...]
