A Day Trip to Franklin, Indiana
Really, traveling to Indiana? Are you sure? Isn't it just all corn? Photo by Glenn Carstens-Peters on Unsplash Let’s be honest: Indiana does not sound like the greatest place for a vacation, or really any kind of travel. Pretty much whenever you see a picture of Indiana, it looks something like the photo above.

Getting the Most Out of Washington DC
I have been dying to take my kids to Washington DC for a long time now. I was waiting for them to be at an age where they could really appreciate it. I loved touring Washington when I was a kid and I wanted to share that with my kids. The seat of our nation’s government with all of the history, museums, and monuments is something every family should experience once together.

Places You Must Visit While You Spend Your Vacation in Costa Rica
Though belonging to a rugged Central American terrain, Costa Rica, with expansive coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific Oceans, has been an emerging popular tourism spot. Though being home to a rain forest, Costa Rica’s capital has become a popular tourist attraction owing to cultural institutions like the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum. Costa Rica also attracts a fair share of attention owing to the volcanic mountains it houses and the rich biodiversity there. But mostly, Costa Rica is famous for its beaches, the pristine waters and its picturesque and soothing landscape. There are many Costa Rica luxury homes which are available, suitable for every tourist in accordance with their travel budget. Apart from that, roughly a quarter of Costa Rica is made up of protected jungles, teeming with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds and other exotic fauna. As a tourist, here are the things which must be in your itinerary when you are visiting Costa Rica.

Exploring England Expertly
When visiting London, the most exciting thing to do is to enjoy the people. Let's be honest, in such a large, bustling city, most tourists don't actually get to see Buckingham Palace or Big Ben, and if they do, it's for three seconds before the rush of people behind them pushes them out of the way. My advice? Enjoy the stock photos available on Google of each landmark and then go spend your time in London actually engaging in the culture. Go to the local pub, see a show at the theater, do the things that real Londoners do, or maybe even enjoy the lesser known tourist sites, but don't go to the tourist traps with the millions of other visitors. So, here's a list of things to do and places to go for those more adventurous and willing to be more than another tourist.

Savannah, Georgia
Located on the coast of Georgia separated by the Savannah River to South Carolina is a small tourist town filled with history from the houses to the streets, unique stores, and hidden gems of restaurants. When it comes to history it can be powerful and beautiful to terrifying and creepy but all of it makes Savannah and why it has become such a great place to visit. There are plenty of stores and like all tourist towns you will get the basic souvenir stores but there are also small marketplaces filled with local crafts, a great dog/cat boutique with about five locations within this small location (very pet friendly town), and one of my favorites Savannah Bee Company where anything you can make with honey is developed and sold at this store. As for restaurants you will find cuban food, bar food, seafood, and amazing southern breakfast food; it is refreshing to go through a town and see very few chain restaurants and you will get that experience in Savannah.
