Given a chance to live in a premature America with constant revisions, would you take it? Touring D.C. allows you to understand and learn more about America's history and how we have evolved into present day. It is truly a remarkable city and visiting during Cherry Blossom season makes this even more undeniable.

One of the country's premier cities, Chicago showcases numerous famed sites such as the Willis Tower (better known as the Sears Tower), Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, and 'The Bean.' Bundle up, walking the Windy City can really take your breath away; although there are many great restaurants, arts, entertainment...and all that jazz along the way.

Located on Amelia Island, this historic beach town boasts private beaches and marshlands waiting to be explored. Downtown offers a local farmer's market, many restaurants, and antique stores for the collector. A favorite hobby for locals and visitors alike is to comb the beach hunting for numerous shark's teeth that have washed ashore.

Way too many people, long lines, overpriced everything, and freezing cold, but nothing quite compares to Christmas in New York! Give your trip enough time to visit landmarks, shopping districts, see shows, and dine at some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world.

Only a 3 hour drive to The Waynesville Inn Resort and Spa, Katy and I were able to enjoy a weekend in November hiking in the mountains and visiting the Biltmore House. Try to visit while the leaves are still changing; the weather is ideal and the views unbeatable.
