In the midst of the barbecue and the booze and all the over-the-top honky tonk, Music City’s Cumberland River offers a little respite— kayaking in Nashville. When I was looking for a place to catch some of the best views of the city skyline, one place in particular stood out to me. And it wasn’t […]
It’s so funny—I’ve been struggling to start this post. And not because there’s nothing to write about Franklin, TN. But because there’s so much to write about it. I mean… where do I even begin? How do I even organize my thoughts? And then type them up in a coherent fashion? Ultimately, I decided an […]
We spent a couple of days in and around Franklin as part of a larger overall Tennessee trip and, if you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend making this bitty town one of your formal stops. It could be an entire long weekend or family trip unto itself, really. And it very conveniently sits […]
Holy cats, Meow Wolf! Thank you, thank you, thank you for a ridiculously fun immersive art experience! Anyone who knows me knows I love a good artsy activity. And the recent trend of immersive art exhibits has me all kinds of excited. But Meow Wolf’s Santa Fe exhibit, “House Of Eternal Return” is basically the […]
I’ve been to New Mexico before. I actually lived there for a year when I was two years old. But I’ve been back since. Still, if you can believe it, I hadn’t visited Santa Fe yet. So, when I had the opportunity to road-trip El Paso to New Mexico, I made sure to put it […]
I’m a big fan of the desert. Something about the otherworldly and seemingly never-ending landscape, the harsh survival conditions, and the huge temperature swings intrigues me. So, I’d been looking for a reason to explore New Mexico a little more than I already had. And there was one place that was non-negotiable for this trip—Santa […]
It was fated that I should stay at Hotel Paso Del Norte for my short stop in El Paso. As soon as I saw it, I just knew that was the place. The more I read about it, the more convinced I became it was a quintessential Global Debauchery hotel. And as luck would have […]
I always jump at the chance to check out a new city. So, when I flew into El Paso to meet up with my dad, I do what it is that I do—I made a whole day out of the stop. As always, it was one of my whirlwind visits. But not without lots of […]
I’ve been to all fifty states—Georgia more times than I can count—and can you believe I’ve never been to Savannah? Well, me being me, you know I’m going to fix that. So, I did. I went. And I had a complete blast. I had way too much fun, if I’m being completely honest. My only […]
Although my most recent trip through America’s heartland was a road trip, we actually traveled in all kinds of different ways—subway, airplane, Uber, driving, walking. And in several different states—Maryland, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana. Being the Type A traveler that I am and, being in the middle of Coronavirus in the US, I […]
