Distinctive Beach Rentals – Ft Myers Beach
Distinctive Beach Rentals, Inc. Wow…where to start…these guys have no business being in the hospitality industry. I had a bad feeling when we first walked in and saw the rules individually placed on every pillow, in every bedroom. It only got worse from there. At one point we had to call the police over to [...]
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan has one of the most unique lifestyles and landscapes in North America. It sits between the 3 Great Lakes, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron. It makes up one third of the land mass of Michigan but only holds 3% of it’s population. // That is because the Upper [...]
Delaware
Delaware did offer up some good roadside attractions and museums for us by the Sea. // Delaware State Police Museum (Dover, Delaware) We’ve been to several police museums on our journeys and the Delaware State Police Museum did not disappoint. We were treated to the usual uniform displays, handgun displays, and continuously running multi-media presentations [...]
Iowa
Mamie Eisenhower’s Birthplace (Boone, Iowa) Mamie Eisenhower’s Birthplace is an interesting place. I say interesting, because it has a lot of potential to be very engaging, but somehow falls short. The Eisenhowers were revered when Ike was in office and they are still generally held in good esteem by most Americans. Mamie was quite the [...]
Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch Residence Club
I loved the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch! I rented a 3BR Residence Club condo through Travel En Vogue this past March. My family and I got 8 free lift tickets every day! The skiing was great, the condos are ski-in, ski-out and the hotel has ski valet/ski concierges there to make everything super easy for [...]
Connecticut
Bristol Clock Museum (Bristol, Connecticut) Tick tock tick tock. . .As we waited for our tour to begin (wandering around the gift shop, what else) we were awed over the ornate clocks in the lobby area. . . and the obnoxious ticking sound. How the employees could function is waaaaaaaay beyond me. Little did we [...]
Tennessee
Tennessee didn’t disappoint us. There are more curiosities, oddities and fun things to visit than we had time to cram into 6 days. // Jack Daniel’s Distillery (Lynchburg, Tennessee) Jack Daniel’s Distillery is a mecca in the state of Tennessee. People travel from all over the country through an area with more acres of trees [...]
Colorado
Coors Brewing Co. Factory Tour (Golden, Colorado) We love beer. It’s a plain and simple fact. We love brewery tours and finding new favorite beers (although to this day, nothing beats a Pyramid Hefeweizen). Colorado was an exciting choice for a trip because it boasts the “most microbreweries per capita.” So why, amidst our favorite [...]
Vermont
Vermont is full of hidden treasures. From a fairy tale castle and famous marble to chocolate, micro-brew and a Floating Bridge. Lake Champlain Chocolates Factory Tour (Burlington, Vermont) Yet another fantastic place to stop. The tour itself consists of you, the tourist, standing before a big glass window while the tour guide points out the [...]
