Seeing Sights, Conquering Heights, and Facing a New Issue in Maine

We loved our time exploring Acadia and were happy to check out many of its most popular features. Unfortunately, in the middle of our visit, we ran into some issues with Dixie which led us to curtail our exploration a bit.

Wasting No Time at Acadia National Park

If there's one thing we've learned the hard way, it's: "when the weather is good, GO!!" Don't wait til tomorrow to go on the hike. Don't wait for the weekday to avoid the crowds...

Enjoying Our Time and Biding Our Time in Maine

Between our week in Vermont and our lengthy stay in Bar Harbor, we had a ten day transitional period which we spent in Fryeburg and Boothbay, Maine.

Vermont: A Perfect 10

There are 49 U.S. states that are not Vermont, and we're pretty sure all of them wish they could be half as cool as the Green Mountain State.

Gettysburg – Battlegrounds and Ghost Towns

When we headed up to Gettysburg recently, I returned to the National Park to check out the new visitor center and explore the battlefield once more.

Good Friends, Good Times, and “Good Lord, This Traffic Sucks” in Northern Virginia

The day after the Kentucky Derby we left Louisville and started toward Virginia where good friends of ours were getting married on May 20th.

Wins And Losses At The Kentucky Derby

After Lexington, we headed west to Louisville with the goal of attending the 143rd Kentucky Derby. Luckily the Derby was great because the rest of our visit was kind of a disaster.

Lexington – Drinkin’ Bourbon Til The Cows Come Home (And Kick You Out)

Lexington is a hard place not to love. Who doesn't enjoy rolling pastures, winding country roads, idyllic horse farms, and historic bourbon distilleries?

Surprise!! Nashville Rocks!

If you had asked me a year ago which destination I thought would be the first we'd return to, I can assure you my answer would not have been 'Nashville.'

Walking in Memphis, Part II – The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine...

If there is one word I would use to describe the National Civil Rights Museum, it is "exhausting."
