Las Vegas is known for the place to go to gamble, party and let loose. I mean, you don’t get the nickname “Sin City”, for your architecture or libraries. Sean and I love Vegas, and were able to do a quick getaway this past weekend to celebrate his birthday. We always budget money to gamble,…
Chasing Waterfalls

They range from roadside splashes to more challenging hikes that are rewarded with amazing natural wonders.

OH MY! I Like Brisket
The COVID lockdown has made the carfullofcrazies crew find adventures closer to home. So, when Sean and Austin heard there was a Bar-B-Que joint that was ranked Best of Atlanta and Best of Forsyth County they had to check it out. Therefore, it was off to Socks’ Love Barbeque. Just to give you a little…
Set Sail for Grand Cayman and Cozumel
Nothing says winter break like a five day cruise to the Caribbean! Seems like half of the state of Georgia thought the same thing, as we were surrounded by families also enjoying their break from school. We boarded our Carnival Fun Ship in Tampa, heading for warmer weather in Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Cruising is…
36 Hours in Chicago!
It took me a week to recover from our whirlwind trip to Chicago, hence the delay in documenting our latest adventure. This was a birthday extravaganza, celebrating all our September birthdays and cashing in on Dawn’s May birthday gift (Hamilton! EEK!!!!). We were especially excited to reunite with our traveling partners in crime, The Dello…
Dublin Highlights
Our final day in Ireland and we made the most of it! We started with The Trinity College Library and The Book of Kells, an ornately decorated copy of the first four gospels. Dated back to 800AD, the library displays a page from two of the books each day, we saw a page from both…
Dublin Bound
As Day 6 of this awesome week began we made the trek east from Galway to Dublin. If you have read Day 1-5, you know we can’t go straight to Dublin without several detours. First stop was in Athlone, where we toured the Athlone Castle. The stone castle was built in 1210 to defend the…
Island Life, Ireland Style
Day 5 of our adventure found us traveling on the Wild Atlantic Way to Rossaveel, where we boarded a ferry bound for the Aran Islands. Our warm weather luck was gone and the cool and rain found us. Our boat ride helped to understand why they call it the “Wild Atlantic” as it felt like…
Which way to Galway?
Did you know most European hotels don’t have air conditioned rooms? Our first room at the Europa Hotel in Belfast we lucked out with AC but last night no such luck at Bishop’s Gate in Londonderry. The hotel was beautiful and the room was quite large, but we slept with the windows open for the…
On The Road to Londonderry
After a little later start than planned (someone overslept), we left Belfast in route to Londonderry. We drove north again toward the Atlantic and again enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Several stops along the way to take quick pictures of the coast, including our planned stop Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge in Ballintoy. First erected by fisherman in…
