The Annual Alaska Fishing Adventure: Fish On!
I have been immensely fortunate to be able to pull off an Alaska fishing trip each year since moving south in 1996. One year I did pass on Alaska fishing to go to France instead.

I love going to see Longwood Gardens tulips in Kennett Square every April. The gardeners plant over 200,000 bulbs and when they are close to peak bloom, it's a staggering pallet of color.

The weather in Baltimore and DC in the Winter can be dreary. I have several go-to spots for both dreary wet days and cold sunny days designed to maintain sanity. Here are some of my favorite places.
