About This Blog

Welcome! This blog is my visual journal—a collection of places I’ve visited over the years, whether on vacation or close to home. Posts are dated near when the photos were taken to keep the timeline authentic.

I use labels to make exploring easy. Each post includes:

  • Location: State or country, and city when relevant
  • Venue or landmark name
  • Theme: For series like vacations or special trips

On the right side of the page, you’ll find helpful links and resources:

  • Favorite Vacations: Trips that were especially meaningful to me
  • Labels: An index to the blog (also called tags)
  • Landmarks I’ve Visited: Links to official sites or Wikipedia for more info
  • Airports I’ve Flown Through: Official airport websites
  • Golf Courses I’ve Played: Links to course sites
  • Blog Archive: Posts grouped by year

Thanks for visiting—I hope you enjoy browsing as much as I’ve enjoyed creating this space!
