The Historic District of Annapolis is builtContinue Reading
Stop #4 – Wright Brothers Visitors Center and National Memorial
Aviation is huge in my boyfriend’s family. His father was a Naval Aviator (he even flew my dad on flights back to Missouri while the were stationed at the same Naval Air Base. 30 some odd years later they met again when Ted and I got together!), his father andContinue Reading
Stop #3 – Fort Sumter National Monument
Fort Sumter is a SEA FORT (I didn’t know we had Sea Forts) dating back to the War of 1812 and was built on an artificial island to protect Charleston, South Carolina. Commissioned after the Burning of Washington in 1814 (during the War of 1812), engineers performed measurements on theContinue Reading
Stop #2 – French Quarter
What is the first thing you think of when you hear New Orleans, Louisiana? For me, the French Quarter is definitely near the top of the list, if not the top; I also think of Mardi Gras, Beignets, and fun nights with co-workers (who are now great friends!) The FrenchContinue Reading

We’ve always celebrated the “American” way with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrotsContinue Reading
