The Amazing African American Museum of History
Washington D.C. Words can’t express what an amazing time we had at this museum in D.C.

Disney World Appreciation!
When You Wish Upon A Star…. For years now…oh, and we mean MANY years, (over 40), we’ve been blessed with the ability to go to the fabulous magical land of Disney World in Lake Buena Vista Florida. Our family was even among the very first to ever grace the grounds in their inaugural year. We certainly adopt all of the fascinations, childlike nuances, and excitement every time we go back. Heck, we even moved to Orlando just so we could become Annual Pass Holders. The sheer joy of watching a child’s expression when they experience it for the first time is something that fills your heart with glee. It is…
