It’s so funny—I’ve been struggling to start this post. And not because there’s nothing to write about Franklin, TN. But because there’s so much to write about it. I mean… where do I even begin? How do I even organize […]
We spent a couple of days in and around Franklin as part of a larger overall Tennessee trip and, if you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend making this bitty town one of your formal stops. It could be […]
I’ve been to New Mexico before. I actually lived there for a year when I was two years old. But I’ve been back since. Still, if you can believe it, I hadn’t visited Santa Fe yet. So, when I had […]
I’m a big fan of the desert. Something about the otherworldly and seemingly never-ending landscape, the harsh survival conditions, and the huge temperature swings intrigues me. So, I’d been looking for a reason to explore New Mexico a little more […]
It was fated that I should stay at Hotel Paso Del Norte for my short stop in El Paso. As soon as I saw it, I just knew that was the place. The more I read about it, the more […]
I always jump at the chance to check out a new city. So, when I flew into El Paso to meet up with my dad, I made a whole day out of the stop. As always, it was one of […]

You’ll never hear me say that the city of Paris isn’t worth a visit. But, let’s be honest, it tends to steal the spotlight from the other bagilliondy, equally gorgeous cities in France. I grew up only a couple hours […]
As one of the nation’s least visited states, Nebraska kind of chills out in the background. Modest. Quietly confident in its offerings. And its state capital just might be its best kept metropolitan secret. After a whirlwind road trip, we […]
Oh, you know me and how I like my cocktails—easy to make and over-the-top effective. Well, the following Valentine’s Day cocktail recipes are no exception. I generally try to find cocktails that have few ingredients, have ingredients I’m likely to […]
While waiting on our cab in the hotel lobby, my dad took up a conversation with another American soldier. He mentioned that we were on our way to Vilnius, but it was clear the soldier had zero idea where that […]
The next morning we caught a bus to Riga, Latvia. The buses here are really nice. They have coffee machines and “in-bus” entertainment. The whole trip was about four hours, so not too bad. One interesting thing was that the […]
