Located on a 14 acre parcel along the east bank of the Anacostia River, Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens is the only National Park that is devoted to the propagation and display of aquatic plants, with a history that is of great significance to the botanical study and development of water plants.

I keep track of the college campuses that I visit much in the same way that I keep track of states and countries I visit. I’ve found that visiting a campus is a little snippet of real life, a trip off the beaten tourist path to people live, work, and play. In addition to some [...]
On one of my first visits to San Francisco, I crossed the Golden Gate bridge to explore the Marin side of the Bay. I stopped off for what I thought would be a short while to explore Sausalito, and had such a great time there, that I never went any further. Due to its prime [...]

Katherine and I had the chance to meet in Miami last month, and I loved hearing about all the great good choices in that area. — I keep hearing it over again – relaxation is what your [...]
Today I’m pleased to introduce you to Jon Rochetti, a fellow travel blogger and friend, and who, over the years, has shared with me his wonderful city of Washington DC. Today he writes a guest post about a trip to Cozumel, Mexico. — The image of the submarine varies. Let it be Jules Verne’s submarine, [...]
I’m traveling in Europe for a bit, and spent an enjoyable few days at Lake Maggiore. While I’ll have more in depth posts after I return home and have a chance to marshal my thoughts, I’ll be posting a few photos and quick thoughts from the road. Lake Maggiore isn’t the largest of the Italian [...]
World in Focus – Travel photography contest open to professionals and amateurs. Maybe you could win that grand prize – a 10 day safari in Tanzania. AAA Travel Views – I found myself nodding in agreement as the author explained that he wasn’t a typical Branson visitor, but he made an exception for Paul Revere [...]
