One of my sons is a Vikings fan. Despite their not-so-stellar record, he filled his 2021-2022 Fantasy Football team roster with multiple Vikings players. Sadly, he ended up getting 8th (and last) place in our Family Fantasy Football competition. But that didn’t stop us from touring their home field – US Bank Stadium – during…

Following my travel to Philadelphia, I’ve assembled…
Washington, DC, is packed with history about the United States of America. While most people come to tour the museums, memorials, art galleries, Capitol Building and Arlington Cemetery, there’s another site I highly recommend: Historic Ford’s Theatre. It’s the place where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. Today,…
Our family trip to Seattle last summer was mainly to explore the museums and culture of the Emerald City.
