I recently visited my hometown to spend some time with my family and friends, and I decided that I wanted to write up a post about Fayetteville, Tennessee. I’m sure that not many people have heard of it, as it is a small town of around 7,000 people. I want to take some time and
We spent our last few days in Alaska exploring museums and the Anchorage area. There are SO many things to do in and around Anchorage. We flew into and out of Anchorage and it is a great place to base yourself if you don’t want to move around as much as we did and just
