Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
Heisler's Then and Now
I didn’t know what to expect, so I went into it with a mostly-open mind. For a belated birthday celebration, we went up to my favorite mini golf location. I mean, mini golf on top of a mountain, Belgian waffle sundaes, and a gorgeous setting, what’s not to like?

24 hours only Nashville
If I was just visiting Nashville, I would stay in East Nashville for 2 nights to have a true 24 hours. It's totally worth it to get the hotel if you want the full 24 hours. First thing I would do after I wake up and get ready is go downstairs for breakfast. While I'm down there, I'll set up the earliest shuttle I can for the morning then go upstairs to finish getting ready. When it's time I'll catch the shuttle. If I couldn't get a shuttle early enough to my liking I would use lyft/uber.

Delawander. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Like Pat’s and Geno’s in Philly, such is the case with Capriotti’s. This classic Delaware eatery is popular and has been around for years and some still don’t know that a Bobbie® is nothing but a Thanksgiving meal on a roll. It’s arguably the most famous sandwich shop to come out of Delaware. It consists of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce all slammed together on fresh bread. It tastes great and Cap’s is also famous for its Capistrami®, which is if pastrami and reuben sandwiches did a high five, but nothing compares to Casapulla’s tuna fish wraps. Feast your mind’s eye on the creamy, juicy and rich distinction that this seafood delight elicits. Bite into the decadent, luxurious flavors that delight the tongue and drive the mind. Welcome to Newark, Delaware.

Twenty-Four Hours in Arlington, Texas. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
They say that everything is bigger in Texas. That saying is still true and holds up today. For those that aren't familiar of who I am, I grew up in Arlington, which is west of Dallas. I've always spoke very fondly of where I came from and the things I loved the most about it. In the town of nearly 400,000 residents, growing up in a large city meant that places were easy to find. Arlington is the home of two professional sports teams: Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers and the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys. Their respective stadiums are basically located close to each other. I've been a fan of both teams for decades and continue to support them, win or lose. Back in February, I took a vacation to my hometown for the first time in nearly 15 years. It was an overdue homecoming for me and spent two days down there. On the second and last day of my trip, I took part in a premium stadium tour of Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers, with a group of people. It was my first time visiting this enormous ballpark. The tour lasted for an hour and a half and for the final half hour, we were led by a tour guide to the field. Kids had an opportunity to play catch, while I admired the field. Stepping foot on an MLB field was a first for me and knocked that item off my bucket list, and yes, I took pictures of the field. Since then, I've gone back home for the second time for Memorial Day weekend, spending three days there. The following is a list of things I would do in Arlington for 24 hours.

A Visit To Fort Stark
Welcome to Fort Stark State Historic Site! Located on Jerry’s Point, in New Castle, NH, this post was first fortified in 1746. Fort Stark was one of seven forts built to protect the early colonists at Portsmouth Harbor. Over the years, Fort Stark has been rebuilt and rearmed many times. The name Fort Stark came after the Battle of Bennington in 1777, in honor of the commander of New Hampshire’s forces, John Stark.

A Birthday and Anniversary Getaway to Park City, Kentucky
Some trips surprise you in the best ways, and our recent four-day visit to Park City, Kentucky, was one of those trips. We went there to visit Mammoth Cave and explore the area, but we found so much more than we expected. We discovered a tiny town filled with history, amazing food, wonderful people, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy our time away.

Small Town Beauty in Arizona
Yavapai County's Arconsanti is unique due to the fact that work has been going on since 1970. The structures here represent arcology, or architecture and ecology, for a town that is both environmentally conscious and humanly successful. The town's founder, Italian-American architect Paolo Soleri, is the subject of numerous seminars, most of which focus on arcology, urban planning, art, and design.
