Mom and I spent a long weekend in New Orleans for her birthday, and now that I’ve been there three times I had a realization. Aside from live music everywhere, fun, friendly people, and the ability to legally drink technicolored cocktails in the street, one...

Buena Vista, CO is a tiny town northwest of Salida, and even though it’s a sleepy little burg, it’s not lacking in attitude. The coffee is strong (The Roastery is a must), the beer is hoppy (try Eddyline – the wood-fired pizza is good, too), and the...

If you visit the South, you have to see at least one plantation. I took the tour at Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville, and heard stories about what happened there during the Civil War (the main house got shot up a bit), the families who lived there (worthy of any...

This photo is from awhile back, but it’s so sweet I thought it deserved making Photo of the Day. Let sleeping dogs lie: (I’m battling a serious flu bug, and if it were up to me I’d be curled up in that bed with him right now.) If you like this post,...

If you’re at all interested in country music, you have to stop at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and take the tour. What surprised me the most was how communal it felt. Only a couple of the dressing rooms have their own bathrooms, for example, and everyone else...

Pigeon Forge is the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, and to say that the two places are different is an understatement. The Great Smokies are these beautiful natural wonderlands, while Pigeon Forge looks like God threw up signs and parking lots. But...
