Napoleon Builds an Arc in Paris, France

We walked around the circle at the base of the Arc de Triomphe, surrounded by the chaos of traffic and the sound of automobile horns. There were inscriptions in the ground underneath the vault of the arch marking the location of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Paying our respects, we happened upon the evening ceremony of the lighting of the torch. This observance of one soldier, buried here…

Ohio Winery: Powell Village Craft Winery

Taking a seat at the beautiful rustic bar at Powell Village Craft Winery, I couldn’t help but notice the young lady sitting next to me talking into her phone. Overhearing her conversation, she was trying to set a date to move to Colorado. Working out the logistics, she sat in front of her computer enjoying a glass of wine. I ordered a wine flight and soon thereafter, Katie had wrapped up her…

The Mount of Olives, A Place of Death, Ascension and Everlasting Life

Standing at the overlook on the Mount of Olives, a breathtaking view spreads before me to include the Temple Mount and the city of Jerusalem. Once flourishing with olive trees, the site has become a holy place connected with events surrounding Jesus’ death and ascension into heaven. Tombs dating back to the First Temple period remain in the Kidron Valley outside of the city walls. The cemetery…

The Upper Room in Mount Zion

Our tour bus was making its way back towards Jerusalem to explore the hillside town of Mount Zion, a short walk outside of the Zion Gate. During the time of Jesus, it was located within the city walls of Jerusalem as noted on the Madaba Map until the Byzantine walls were erected in the 16th century. Mount Zion is most known as the location of the Upper Room where Jesus and His disciples took…

Lunch at Teaberry's, Springfield, Ohio

Update: As of December 26, 2022, Teaberry’s and Heart of Ohio Gift Shop has closed. Restaurants can bring on a nostalgic feeling and I felt that as I entered Teaberry’s in Springfield. I remembered visiting craft stores when I was younger and vividly recollected the menu of home-cooked meals. I was so happy to be visiting here again to try some of the cooking that reminded me of my favorite…

Hillbilly Golf in Gatlinburg, TN

Of the handful of times we have vacationed in Gatlinburg, Hillbilly Golf is one of our favorite, family activities. Our favorite part of Hillbilly Golf was traveling up the incline. We boarded the car and made the slow climb to the top where we reached the first hole. Before tackling the putt-putt game, we continued tradition by rubbing the wooden bear in hopes for a wine and a…

Gold Mining in Columbia, California

Planning to travel from San Francisco to Yosemite, I was excited to add Columbia State Historic Park to my itinerary. Imagining what it would have been like to live during the Gold Rush of the 1800s, I was looking forward to strolling the streets and exploring its old restored buildings. Located off of Highway 49 near the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Columbia was once a vibrant town that drew a…

Little Fish Brewing Co., Athens, Ohio

While visiting family in Athens, one of my favorite breweries to visit is Little Fish Brewing Co.

The following year, their “Barrel-Aged Woodthrush” won the 2016 World Beer Cup Gold Medal in the Belgian- and French-style Ale category. In addition to their…
