I’ve always loved to travel and entertain. I bought our farm because I would love to have a destination to entertain other people who also like to travel. I currently have one cabin on the farm and it still needs work. I need to buy an excavator so I can make roads on the farm and make it more accessible. The scenery on the farm is some of the most beautiful...
This may seem like an odd title for a travel blog. What you may or may not know is that we own a small farm in Southern Chile. So, actually, I have to travel for quite some time to visit our farm. It really is beautiful there and I got to spend about three weeks there working on our cabin. This was in later October, which makes it middle to late spring there. There...
We went fishing in Michigan for King Salmon again this year. We fished in a creek called Bear Creek. We have to book our cabin a year in advance to get a room. Last year there wasn’t a lot of fish and they were small. This year was totally different. I have never seen as many fish as were there this year. They were also a lot of large fish. In addition to this...
On the second to the last day in Norway, we drove to the coast. We stayed in the nicest place near the coast. It was an apartment that had been completely remodeled and the lady was very nice. She told us her husband does construction and they redid this place themselves. It was very well done. This was the first time it rained during our trip. We can’t...
The morning after we went to the Viking Village, we drove about 45 minutes to ride a scenic train to the top of a mountain. This is a popular attraction in Norway and is highly rated by most people. The name of the train is Flamsbana on the Flam railway. It’s in a picturesque little town called Flam. It was a nice ride and they stopped at a really nice...
As I mentioned, we got to our cabin for the night at 3:00 in the morning. We were just glad to have a place to crash at that time. I wish we had more time there. When we looked out of the window the next morning, we could see over a beautiful fjord. The cabins were also nice and spacious. However, we planned on driving to Bergen that day so we left soon after. We got...
I’m going to break our trip to Norway into four posts. So keep watching for them. This first one will be about the first couple of days. I won’t go into a lot of detail about all of the exciting breakdowns and issues we had since I covered that in the last post. On our first night, we stayed in Oslo at the Anker Hotel. I got the most sleep on the plane...
We just got back from Norway. It was a great trip and I realized how great it was to be alive and experience God’s creation. I will share photos and our experiences in future blogs. However, today I want to share some of our interesting experiences to show you our human side and maybe to get e few chuckles. This trip has always been Marty’s dream trip. I...
Branson is known for its shows and for Silver Dollar City. However, There’s a lot more to do there. There are all kinds of attractions and stuff for everyone in the family. One of the first attractions we did was the Runaway Mountain Coaster. You each get your own ‘car’. It takes you about a half a mile up the mountain and then you coast down...
Branson is probably best known for the shows there. They range from musicals to comedies to live plays. They are usually very well done and world-class productions. The advantage of seeing shows at Branson is that most of them are very family-friendly. Cool sign at The Haygoods. We saw 5 shows while we were there. The first one we saw was Reza, the illusionist. They...
