When out of town family came to visit, one of the things they asked to do was visit Cedar Point. Located in Sandusky, Ohio along the shore of Lake Erie, the park is a two hour drive from our home. Twelve of us, ranging in age from 14 to 76 visited the park on a…
I have been using this travel bag for more than two years and the “Delsey Quilted Rolling Underseat Tote” is, without a doubt, the best travel purchase I have ever made. Whenever I buy a product, I expect that there will always be something that I would like to change or improve. Not this one.…
Driving across Nebraska? It’s one of those states with long stretches of flat straight highways and little to see on either side of the road except huge wind turbines which can be seen for miles and which are fascinating to watch. But even with the entertainment provided by wind farms, you’re going to want a…
<a href=”https://www.bloglovin.com/blog/18380007/?claim=8d3ca5s5as5″>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> I get the impression that not a lot of people visit botanical gardens. They’re not as popular as amusement parks or museums. Let me just say that this is a huge mistake. Some of the best places I’ve visited have been botanical gardens. And the Missouri Botanical Garden in St.…
I visit Salt Lake City fairly often. My stepson and his family live there. My husband, John, an ex-Mormon, researches and writes Mormon history. And so, between family and visits to archives and history conferences, we find one reason or another to make our way to Utah every year or two. Until now, we haven’t…
Never been to Cleveland? Okay, I’ll admit that the idea of vacationing in Cleveland doesn’t sound anywhere near as glamorous as traveling to someplace like New York, Boston, or Key West. Like Detroit and Pittsburgh, Cleveland is one of those rust belt cities that is never placed on the lists of “the top 10 cities you have…

It was the first week of March when we visited the Cleveland Botanical Garden. We’d been living through weeks of cold weather with snow and freezing rain. An afternoon in their Glasshouse would be a wonderful escape to warmer climates. Although we have visited other botanical gardens around the…
We had decided that on Tuesday, we would stay close to our hotel and do our touring around Long Beach. Shortly before lunchtime, the six of us climbed aboard the Passport bus. This is a free shuttle that will transport you all around Long Beach. Our Queen Mary Hotel is one of its stops. We rode the shuttle to…
People sometimes put off taking vacations just because of the time involved in planning them. Others travel but without a plan. They hop in the car and head across the country without really knowing what to expect. While this may be adventurous, it means sometimes eating in a dull restaurants when a top rated one…
After a morning bus tour of Hollywood we headed to the Getty Center. Their website tells you to arrive early since their parking garage often fills. But in mid-January in the middle of the week, we didn’t have any trouble getting a parking spot at lunch time. It costs $15 to park at the Getty but admission…
I don’t remember the first time I visited a zoo. What I do remember is the excited anticipation of seeing wild animals that you were never going to see in the wild. That, and the endless searching, in treetops and at the back of dark, man made caves, behind boulders, and around hidden corners, searching and…
