Recharging our Batteries.

Arriving home from two months in Europe was sooo nice.   No matter where one has been or how long gone, there is nothing quite like sleeping in your own bed. But there was no rest for the weary here, as we had only a short two weeks to get ready to move to Florida…

Salo, Torbole and Arco

Arriving in Salo on the west coast of Lake Garda was a vision. Salo is a gorgeous town – which we would have never known, had Sophia not discovered it while researching her geography project in early September. After lunch, we drove the last hour north to Torbole which was possibly one of the most…

Ibiza/Eivissa: The Adventure Continues!

The foundation for our travel and governing factor of most destinations is Tony’s work schedule.  We go where the races are!  So in September we ventured to Ibiza, a gorgeous island off the coast of south-eastern Spain. We came to Ibiza to cheer on the PROVEZZA TP52 in the Super Series and were fortunate to…
