Been a little busy with life, so sorry for not having new content these past few weeks. What I was not too busy for, however, was to send in my absentee ballot as I am traveling today (working on new content) and can’t make it to the polls.
Do your civic duty (but really, it’s a privilege) and go vote.
Our nation’s capital is a fantastic destination, but for the fact that it is located clear across the country from us West Coasters. Guess that’s just more reason to make the most of any visit to the District of Columbia.
There are SO many museums and monuments, it’s impossible to fit them all in one short trip. That’s what directed 8th grade tours are for; not sure if they offer those anymore, but I went on my middle school’s, and it was a blast. Highly recommend.
But I digress, let’s DC Talk
Baltimore is probably not the first place that pops into your head when you’re planning a vacation. It’s probably not in the top ten…but they didn’t self-anoint it Charm City for nothing! Find yourself not weak nor weary, and set out on an adventure filled with fantastic art and forgotten lore.
It’s certainly a gritty city (there’s a reason why the Wire was based here), but underneath the surface, there is a ton of history and culture just waiting to be found. I mean, Edgar Allan Poe was inspired to pen some of the most suspenseful, fantastical thrillers while living here, so say no to Baltimore?
I bid you nevermore…
Happy Presidents’ Day! How better than to celebrate with some founding fathers: an oldie but goodie, 36 hours in Rapid City, South Dakota.
One of the first items I ever put on my bucket list when I was a kid was Mount Rushmore. Growing up, it was ultimate symbol of our country, even more so than the individual monuments in Washington DC. Even now to me as an adult, after seeing it in person, it still very stirring, very American, a grand memorial to our stalwart forefathers. It’s certainly worth seeing once in your life, it’s beautiful country out there, with wide open spaces and plains as far as one can see.
