7 Best US Living History Museums

7 Best US Living History Museums

If you want a little more out of a vacation, take the kids somewhere history comes alive. More than just a collection of artifacts, living history museums bring history to life in a way that children remember long after the visit. Think walking along the streets our founding fathers did or touching 450-year-old buildings. Imagine mining for gold or driving the first motorized vehicle. These hands-on experiences put you in the middle of history … [Read more...]

Keeping Fit in the Winter at Destination Kohler

Keeping Fit in the Winter at Destination Kohler

Growing up in the Midwest, it is a rite of passage to fall victim to winter weight gain.  With shorter days and frigid temperatures, leisurely strolls to the store turn into short sprints to the bus.  Daily activities that help you stay slender tend to hibernate as the common Midwesterner slips into a more sedentary lifestyle.  While some people seek relief by flying to warm weather destinations for extended weekend trips, for many people, that's … [Read more...]

One of the Keys to Happiness is a Bad Memory.

March 28, 2014 by Sarah Fazendin2 Comments

One of the Keys to Happiness is a Bad Memory.

For the past decade, I’ve had this recurring nightmare. It involves concrete apartment structures hundreds and hundreds of stories tall and one city block wide. I’m usually stuck on one of the top floors, which are so high in the sky that small communities complete with little stores and schools have been established up there. Rickety walkways strung from windows connect the buildings so the tenants don’t have to make the journey down and back … [Read more...]

A Drinker’s Guide to Milwaukee

August 3, 2013 by Allison Tibaldi2 Comments

A Drinker’s Guide to Milwaukee

Milwaukee's history is steeped in beer. When German immigrants settled here, they brought with them old country recipes that tasted like home. For decades, Milwaukee was the number one beer-producing city in the world. It was home to the “Big Four” breweries: Blatz, Pabst, Schlitz and Miller. These breweries were major employers to generations of immigrants, and helped build the city's economic foundation. Before my recent visit to Milwaukee, I … [Read more...]

Five Fascinating Animals of the Deep in Florida – Guest Post

With news of a giant eyeball washing up on a beach of Florida earlier last week, perhaps it is time to step back and take a look at some of the weird and wonderful animals that live in the beautiful waters of the sunshine state. Although scientists aren’t as yet quite sure as to which species the eyeball originates (the toss up is currently between an oarfish and a squid), the 3 million anglers that visit Florida every year will be happy to … [Read more...]

Norfolk a surprise of food, arts and other delights

Norfolk a surprise of food, arts and other delights

For me, the best part of traveling has to be the delight of surprise, finding unexpected pleasures in places you thought you had a handle on, even if you haven't been there before. Norfolk, Virginia, provided that in a great, grand way on a recent trip I took there, as I found it a place with scenes of the culinary, arts and sports stripe. I'd gone thinking, perhaps as a stereotypically snooty Northerner, "Well, old, southern … [Read more...]
