Tarpon Springs: Greek Town
When you travel to major cities in the United States and Canada, cities that have seen a lot of immigrants settle in them over the years, you tend to find places with heavy concentration of one ethnic group or another. These enclaves have names such as Chinatown in San Francisco, Greek Town in Chicago and Little […]
The Blossom and the Tourist
The District of Columbia isn’t short on tourist attractions. The Capitol, the White House, the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the museums of the Smithsonian Institution… they definitely needed one more reason — or should I say 3,700 more reasons — the cherry trees of the tidal basin. The original 3,020 cherry trees were a gift […]
Seeing RED in a Sea of Black and Gold
You may change your city but you never change your team. That’s a motto we tend to live by in the Changuris household. So when you move to a town (a town that happens to be the home of your most hated hockey rival) what else would you do but dress in red and stand […]
The Church Brew Works
Oh yeah, you read that right. This onetime Catholic church in Pittsburgh has been transformed into a restaurant and brewery, with the brewing equipment appropriately placed where the altar once stood. The Church Brew Works caught our attention as soon as we knew we’d be relocating to Pittsburgh. Friends with connections to the area were […]
Motorcycle to Oklahoma
A break from the guidebook vacation – a guest post from No Kids, Will Travel family-member Andrea Changuris: It was my boyfriend’s turn to pick our vacation and I was surprised with a motorcycle trip to Oklahoma. Yes, it was quite a surprise. We had one week off and we were going to visit his […]
Super Bowl Memories
Zeke’s father was fortunate enough to attend the Super Bowl in 1984. He shares his experience: The 1983-84 Redskins were one of the best Redskins teams ever. Their 38-9 loss would have been very difficult to take had I not physically been there to see it in person. That was one of the last seasons that I […]
What a Trip
“What the heck is that?” you ask? That’s what it looked like last night as we drove down the Pennsylvania Turnpike. For about 90 minutes I wondered if the state had snow plows. It was nearly as much fun as you’re imagining. The slick roads and intermittent white-out conditions got Zeke and I thinking about […]
A Baseball Binge
The search for the sun and signs of spring weather are a recurring theme of this blog, mainly because of my personal dislike of the cold. Because of this bias I grasp for any hint of the warm weather to come. The first and earliest sign of the coming spring is when the birds begin […]
Exploring American Literature in Massachusetts
I like to read. I also like to write, so an appreciation of great works of literature is a given in my case. If you’re like me and also want to know some of the back stories behind the great writers of the past, Massachusetts is one of the best places you can visit. I’ve […]
Lesson Learned
I have often mentioned the importance of journaling your travels and how it can take you back to details and moments you’ve forgotten. What I have not mentioned is that sometimes those details are ones you’d rather forget. The second travel journal I ever kept, the first being lost to time, is from the summer […]
