"A Day of Flights"

9 years ago...1/3 of Kellisa's life has gone by since we gave her the present of "A Day of Flights." May 16, 2017 was one of the greatest days of Kellisa’s life and I haven't been able to come up with a better birthday celebration, despite many hours of racking my brain.

After many months of planning and finally pulling off the day better than I dreamed, I was struggling to post about it. Thankfully, Lisa came to the rescue and for the first time in this blog's history, Lisa has written a post and it captures the day and our gift of flights to Kellisa for her birthday better than I could have ever done. *This is also by far the most popular post on our little blog.

A Wheelchair Accessibility Guide to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park

Three years ago, Kellisa and I had a week open for adventure. We decided to spend our time down in the Palm Springs area to explore some new areas while making a return visit to Joshua Tree National Park. Thanks to COVID, this would be Kellisa's first flight in 50 months, by far the longest she ever went without being on an airplane. 

We had such a great time, we thought we would share our guide to the Palm Springs region again for our readers.

Thanksgiving 2025 on the Bay

For the second year in a row, we made the drive to Pier 3 in San Francisco to board a boat for a buffet style Thanksgiving feast while cruising around the bay. The highlights included sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and a close pass of Alcatraz Island. The food was outstanding and we enjoyed some after dinner music and dancing. We also took advantage of the surroundings for several “photo shoots.” I think a tradition has taken root.
