As I mentioned in my previous post, the last stop on our quest to visit all 50 states was Anchorage, Alaska. To celebrate our accomplishment, let’s play a game. It goes like this, I’ll show you three photos from Anchorage and you tell me whether they are real or fake. Don’t worry, this isn’t going […]

I don’t know why you’re so excited,” AA said. He was not impressed. Apparently, a herd of buffalo was not worth leaving the air-conditioning for. So far my plan to instill upon him the majesty of Yellowstone wasn’t going well. “We have cows hanging out in the streets in India and you think I’ll be excited about […]

I grew up in a “tourist town:” Williamsburg, VA. I’m used to the summer rush of people from all over the globe flocking to the place I call home – the incompetent drivers, the number of hotels, and all my favorite restaurants being busy every night of the week. I’ve spent 24 years in a […]

My husband and I made a pact long before we got married to travel together as often as we could once we finally tied the knot.

You won’t find many areas in the United States that have more to offer the history buff than the Yorktown, Virginia region. It is called “America’s Historic Triangle” for a good reason. The corners of Virginia’s Historic Triangle represent significant events in colonial America’s story. Connected by the Colonial Parkway, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown were […]

When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to leave St. Louis. However, now that I’m older and living far from home, visits back are exciting. I am not sure if St. Louis has more to offer now than it did when I was a teenager, or if I simply wasn’t looking in the right places, […]
