Here's one of my favorite hometown pics, The Georgia Aquarium which is adjacent to the famed Centennial Olympic Park and the World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta. Bring your family and spend the entire day enjoying the city!...
I was a little bummed to learn that one of the best deals ever will soon meet its end. The Lifetime Senior Pass available from the National Parks Service is scheduled to increase from $10.00 to $80.00 sometime this year (2017). I don't meet the age requirement yet, but I was looking forward to it because of the wonderful time...
The ceiling at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas solidified Dale Chilhuly's position as my favorite Glass artist ever. This amazing but breakable tapestry of color nearly gave me a neck cramp from admiring it so long. It is a sight to behold!...
Where am I? Well, I was just as surprised as you might be to know that this is what the Honolulu International Airport looks like. It was a veritable oasis and it took us awhile to get to ground transportation after leaving baggage claim to see this. What a beauty!...
Sunset Boulevard, A Place in the Sun, The Greatest Show on Earth, Rear Window, The Ten Commandments, Breakfast at Tiffany’s…..the list goes on and on. All were filmed at this historic studio that was founded in 1912 by Adolph Zukor. From its humble beginnings before the depression until today, Paramount Pictures has been a force to be reckoned with when...

I've accepted that my wanderlust might never be completely quenched due to work obligations, budget concerns or both. However, I'm a firm believer in declaring what you want as the first step in making it happen. Here I go! Perhaps...
This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of visiting a local college campus that I had vaguely heard of since I live in Metro Atlanta. However, until recently, I had no idea how uniquely beautiful this school was, so I had to plan a visit to see it in person for myself. But first, here's a little background: Berry College is a...
I was searching for a unique place to take my daughter, Carisa for her birthday this past weekend. As luck would have it, I learned about a restaurant that was located in the Cobb County International Airport at McCollum Field. Okay, that sounded compelling enough for me to want to check it out. Of course, I didn't tell her where we...
I love art in all of its forms, but nothing is purer than the bold expression of street murals and graffiti renditions. I can't say when I became interested in this type of art. I think it may have something to do with the fact that it's considered taboo and even criminal in most parts and simply appealed to the rebel in...
