Had to take the obligatory Louisville Slugger Museum giant bat photo. It was on our way to the Frazier International History Museum. I hadn't really read much about it before going but did notice that they were hosting an exhibit called Pirates. So I was in. You all know that Josh and I hit a... Continue Reading →
What to do in Greensboro when it's 95 outside, stay inside. We decided the Greensboro History Museum would be a fun way to kill a few hours. Honestly I didn't think that there would be much there and didn't grab the camera. After arriving the curator informed us that the entire facility would not be... Continue Reading →
After arriving at the Resort in Virgina, we were looking for something local to do on Monday to fill the history requirement for the weekend. Low and behold Monticello was 45 minutes away! The rear one not like our visit to Montpelier, the non-Madison one. As a general rule we avoid tourist destination on weekends... Continue Reading →

All year, Bank of America members (debt and credit cards) are given free admission to more then 100 museums the first weekend of the month. I... Continue Reading →
On our last day in DC a trip to Mt. Vernon was agreed on. Last winter we had a chance to go but passed it up for the Marine Corp Museum. Even though that was definitely worth the visit, George Washington was an amazing American. The original, the one who helped tell us how to... Continue Reading →
No trip to DC would be complete without a little girl time, two of my closest friends live there. If I can catch them both in the city then it is a recipe for a good time. Josh and I went over to their house and made dinner, we were treated to homemade birthday cake... Continue Reading →
Who wouldn't want to spend their birthday at the Library of Congress, wait don't answer that. But honestly it really was amazing!!!! This is our forth trip to DC this year and we decided to hit a few museums that were not on the original list. I had no idea what the building would have... Continue Reading →
