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. Emotions ran the gamut from high to low, but every single one hitting a direct and profound button inside each of us. After talking about our experience at the end of the day in the museum cafeteria, each of us were left with different experiences and takes on the day. But all of us were moved to a point nearing tears. Of course, it is impossible to wrap up the sum of the African American/Black experience in one building in one outing, however we must say that the totality of everything inside this beautifully…

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…

Volcano National Park, Hawai’i
If you are traveling to Hawaii, you are obviously in for a long trip. It’s a good thing they haven’t built the bridge yet as it seems it might be a long drive. Also, it’s not closer to Japan than California – in case that needed to be cleared up. If you are going to commit to making the long commute, the best thing you can do is give yourself plenty of time to visit every island. Each island has its own feel, and each one is totally unique from all the others. Really, you can spend an entire vacation on each island if you wanted but then you are…

Support The National Park Trust
Aloha – I’m Ace. I am 11 years old, and in the 6th Grade. Beautiful Hawai’i is my home, however I split most of my time also in Florida and Colorado in between traveling with my fun family. I love playing basketball and baseball and exploring the outdoors with my little brother Kingston. Maybe you’ve seen me hosting an episode of PBS Hawaii (no big deal), maybe you have seen me in a video honoring Senator Mazie Hirono for the National Park Trust, or maybe you have seen the Youtube Channel that my brother and I run. Either way, today, I want to talk to you about The National Park…

Beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico
There are plenty of options when visiting San Juan, Puerto Rico. We happened to take a family cruise vacation that left out of the port there a few years back. Our time in San Juan was phenomenal. We toured the famous cobblestone streets, shopped, gambled in the casino, and really enjoyed our trip to one of the famous forts. It was affordable yet fantastic. We certainly can’t wait to return to see the rest of this beautiful island. However, if you are visiting San Juan, here are a few interesting and fun ways to spend your time. Gotta Go Back In Time! Get Transported Back In Time and visit the…

Travel and Time
Let’s Talk Time, Shall We? We are constantly hearing how little of it there is. How precious it is, and oh, how fleeting it is. Well, let’s start managing it, and making the most of it by filling it up with conscious thoughts, actions, and feelings. Ask yourself if there are only 24 hours in a day and you spend, on average 8 of those hours sleeping, what would you like to be doing for the other 16? What or who brings you joy? What would make you jump out of bed in the morning, with hopeful anticipation, excited to tackle? Those are good questions to ask yourself because those answers…
