My number one travel rule (OK, general rule of life) is to always have a camera on hand. Always. Granted I am a little obsessed with taking photos and capturing moments and capturing everything I see. But you just don’t ever want to be caught without one when you really want/need/have to have one.

From 1948 to 1981 Brickhouse called Cubs games on WGN-TV and had also called for the White Sox until they left …
You can’t possibly talk about Seattle as a travel destination without talking about the Space Needle! Seattle has one of the most unique skylines in the world. While most are known for skyscrapers, Seattle’s has a slightly shorter alienesque tower that would rival something in a sci-fi movie. The Space Needle was constructed for the …
As often the case with museums I wasn’t able to take any actual photos inside Experience Music Project and the Science Fiction Museum.
