Some good ole’ nuclear scare movies that chilled during the Cold War:

The China Syndrome– Came out in theatres just 12 days before the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant disaster. The 1st to address nuclear power plant accidents. Thought to be impossible, at the time.

Silkwood – Chilling. Meryl Streep pulls you into this conspiracy based on whistleblower Karen Silkwood’s story.

War Games– Every 80s kid saw this!

The Day After – This one’s tought to watch. I never could get through the whole thing.

2019’s Chernobyl (excellent!)- Bill & I binge-watched this!

About me

Hey, there! I'm Terri & my husband Bill and I have 4 kids (2 boys & twin girls + a pup!) and we've been traveling since our kids were little. At this mid point in my journey, I'm trying to shove as much as I can into this precious gift of life and squeeze all the joy and growth and learning I can out of it. Making memories that matter, building a life of joy & meaning, actively pursuing my greatest potential. I have a zest for life, for learning, for growth & I want to give you the resources & inspiration to have better vacations and get more from your life!
