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 […]

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 […]
As one of the nation’s least visited states, Nebraska kind of chills out in the background. Modest. Quietly confident in its offerings. And its state capital just might be its best kept metropolitan secret. After a whirlwind road trip, we decided we liked the area. A lot. And here are just a few actually cool […]
