Our Complete Guide to an Unforgettable Weekend in Savannah
Sure, Savannah’s full of Southern Charm, just don’t look too closely in the windows I’m not sure what drew me to Savannah, but I know that when Peggy went on a girls’ trip to Savannah I was suddenly insanely jealous. Which is weird for me, because I have a slight aversion to Georgia. Patti’s Georgia dramatics Please, hear me out on this one, before I get bombarded with disparaging remarks from those over flowing with Georgia pride. My father’s family is from Southern Georgia. Growing up we vacationed there several times over the years to see the family. My Granny and Granddaddy were wonderful people, and I have such fond…

Bayfield WI and The Apostle Islands – Discover These Hidden Gems
The Apostle Islands consistently make the list of Best Places to see in the US. Located at the Southern end of Lake Superior in Bayfield, Wisconsin, the Apostle Islands are a group of 21 small islands. All but one island are uninhabited. Therefore, there are tons of hiking and camping opportunities in Bayfield and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Yes, it’s a National Park, so bring your National Park Pass and National Park passport for this stamp! From Duluth to Bayfield We left Duluth (see previous day’s adventure here) for Bayfield after an amazing breakfast at The Duluth Grill. Ok, seriously, a little hometown breakfast joint that has a side…

Exploring Along the Way from St. Paul to Duluth
St. Paul, Duluth, and some Minnesota countryside I love wake-ups in hotel rooms, soft beds, downy pillows, and hopefully a big fluffy comforter. All that combined with knowing I don’t have to make that bed always makes for a great day. Then just throw in getting up for a little early sisbehaving and you have for a recipe for a perfect day. We had decided that two days in Minneapolis (check out previous days one & two) was probably enough and we had more to see and explore. So for day three we were hitting up St. Paul, the gorgeous twin sister of Minneapolis and then heading north to Duluth…

Minneapolis – Highlights, Fun and Signs of Hope
Time to Explore Minneapolis After a successful Day 1 in Minneapolis, this is the part where the realization of traveling during a pandemic fully hits us, the search for an open coffee shop. We went on a bit of a quest, unsuccessfully walking to three spots listed as open. At a corner, we were fortunate enough to be stopped by a gentleman who observed our touristy state. He gave us a quick personal story about standing on the balcony during the Foshay Building Grand Opening when he was 3 (Foshay! That’s fun to say). He then told us that if we stand on the opposite street corner it was the…

Minneapolis – Introduction to a Surprisingly Vibrant City
Minneapolis – Our first travel adventure during COVID-19 Back in February 2020 I signed up for a yoga training that I had been trying to schedule for over a year. I was so excited to have a weekend available to finally get this training done. However, it was in Minneapolis, not exactly a booming vacation destination from my bucket list. I was going for business reasons though, so flights were booked and Peggy decided she would meet me there to explore “Up North”. Sister Side Note (ssn) – In my comprehensive travel list, part of it came from “The 24 Most Breathtaking Places in the US”. Apostle Islands National Lakeshore…

Epic 5-day Utah and Northern Arizona Road Trip
Even though we sometimes refer to it as the Epic Utah Road Trip, we actually spent a couple of days in Page, Arizona and experienced some truly incredible sights. So shout out to Arizona, I don’t mean to minimize your contributions! Utah was not a sister trip, although I always wish she was with me. This is a Peggy-trip with my travel-buddy Kelli. She and I have been all over Colorado and Kentucky and she is the perfect travel partner (#adventuresofkelandpeg). Same pace, same music, mandatory car snacks, pull over at every single scenic overlook, and never any judgement about morning mimosas or lack of hair washing. Kelli is from…

A Perfect Portland Weekend – a Quick Guide
Portland is, without a doubt, my most favorite city in the whole country! This city is where my heart is happy and my soul is at peace. Portland is beautiful anytime, but positively spectacular on a sunny day! And we were lucky enough to have some of those magical, rare, sunny days last weekend when we met for a “working” weekend to kick off this Sisbehaving Blog. Getting to Portland For me, Portland is an easy flight from Denver; for Patti it is an easy 3.5 hour drive from Eastern Washington, how could we resist? So bright and early on Friday morning, I boarded the plane, settled into my upgraded…

From the Florida Keys to Everglades National Park
The final day of our too short sister trip, and it was not going to be a boring one. After an amazing Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas Adventure, we were up and out by 4:45 am with some super-secret stalking to do before leaving for the Everglades National Park. As we learned from the tasting room host at Pilar’s Distillery, sometimes Kenny Chesney sneaks into the Jimmy Buffet recording studio in Key West in the wee early hours of the morning to record on his off-tour time. He gets there early to get in and out without being seen. . . but we were there to foil that plan! Shrimpboat…

Florida Keys and Epic Dry Tortugas National Park Adventure
The morning was a little rough, I’m not going to lie about this. One eye, two eyes, then the “OMG, WHERE DID YOU GO LAST NIGHT” from Peggy. Sister side note (ssn) – I had a momentary panic that she hadn’t come back the night before and I failed to notice. Big sister badge has been taken away. Big Plans Today If you missed yesterday, find it here Florida Keys – Day 2. This was our Dry Tortugas (it means turtle, I learned that at the Turtle Rescue Hospital) National Park excurion. This was high on Peggy’s gotta see, gotta do list. It is in the top 5 of the…

Florida Keys – Shenanigans and Celebrations
Our first full day in the Florida Keys had us visiting the Turtle Hospital in Marathon, checking out the sights in Key West and some epic 50th Birthday celebrations! An after dark arrival at our ultimate Florida Keys objective (see Day 1), and a quick pop-in to the 801 Bourbon Bar (and drag show), did not deter us from an early start for first full day in Key West. There was just about the cutest coffee bar on the street right behind us, The Moondog Café. They hooked us up with some fabulous coffee for our journey back across 7 mile bridge. Yeah, who’s stupid idea was a 7 mile…
