How to see Los Angeles in 8 hours or less… and still get churros!

Greetings! I hope everyone is enjoying beautiful weather like I am here in the mountains of West Virginia. It's been perfection here lately and I've had a slow travel schedule the past month and have had lots of time to enjoy the lake, the mountains, and laying at the pool with a book. Coopers Rock …

A Giant Camera, an Overdramatic History, and Some Really Big Bathtubs

Hi gang! So since my last post, not only did I fail miserably at my resolution to post more often, but I think this is now the longest I have gone between posts. Facepalm. I swear, I really am going to post more often. And as a sign of good faith, I am going to …
