The Classy Benson Hotel in Portland, Oregon
Classy. Classy, classy, classy.

Pin ItThe Five Best Pizza Places in Chicago

Pin ItCruise Tour on the Rum Runner II in Newport, Rhode Island
Since Newport, Rhode Island is an island (news to us until we actually visited), one of the best ways to see the place is from the water.

Pin ItFamily Getaway to the Ocean Ritz in Panama City Beach
My goal in life is to be half as cool as my mom is when I am 89. From her, I inherited my height, long legs, and great complexion. Thanks, Mom. She also taught me how to shop for bargains, how to dress nicely no matter what the occasion, and how to be a true lady … Continue reading
Pirates, Pralines, and Spanish Moss: A Travel Guide to Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia

Pin ItTuscan Breeze, Fabulous Destin Vacation Home
