3 weeks ago We visited the "City Market" region of Kansas City, Missouri over this past weekend, taking in the sights and sounds of their farmer's market.
Having been in operation since 1857, City Market is one of the midwest's longest-running farmer's markets, with restaurants, shops, museums and entertainment venues, and of course, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables!
5 weeks ago A recent trip afforded us the opportunity to visit Vicksburg, Mississippi's National Military Park, which memorializes the battles and soldiers of the Civil War.
February 22, 2013 I just got back from a trip to visit Shannon (we decided to meet in Albuquerque), and we had a great trip! We rented a Jeep and headed to the mountains.

Vacations are supposed to be relaxing, but anybody who’s gone on a family trip knows that all of the moving parts associated with the journey can be quite stressful.
Taking a big vacation with friends or family can be good for one and all, but there are also serious logistics involved in the organization process.
June 5, 2012 I took advantage of a 4-day weekend to take a road trip to Lake Cypress Springs, Texas, located near Scroggins, TX. (Between Interstates 20 and 30, halfway between Shreveport and Dallas).
