Disney’s Magic Kingdom – A Photo Gallery

Disney’s Magic Kingdom – A Photo Gallery

There are only a handful of places on earth where millions of people plan for years to come and spend a week, and the Magic Kingdom is one of them. You would think that a simple amusement park wouldn’t hold so many in awe, but people come to see it, and come back again and again. It’s not just marketing either. For many people, it’s been a life long relationship. Walt Disney set out the rules for making an amusement park that everyone could enjoy over 60 years ago, and that foundation holds true today. After all it’s still the “happiest place on earth”.

Downtown Disney, or is it Disney Springs?

Downtown Disney, or is it Disney Springs?

Downtown Disney is in full construction mode these days. It’s rare to walk through and not see something new from the day before. It’s getting exciting because new businesses are starting to open, parking areas are in full construction mode, and things are just changing on a daily basis. Here are a few images of some of the newest developments at Downtown Disney.

Colonial Williamsburg – Image Gallery

Colonial Williamsburg – Image Gallery

When the American Colonies were still young, when the United State of America was still just an idea in the minds of a very few, Colonial Williamsburg was a thriving city. It’s easy to walk among the streets, look through the buildings and talk with the volunteers who bring this place to life and imagine that this was a vibrant and energetic community. The artisans and craftsmen who lived and worked here were some of the most highly skilled anywhere, and helped to bring true civilization to the American continent.

Important history played out here too, and the people who work every day to bring that story to everyone do a great job of portraying the events and times of the American Revolution.

Capitol Reef National Park is one of the most interesting places in the southwest. The Waterpocket Fold opens up several hundred million years worth of geology in breathtaking sandstone layers. The wind sand, and rain have sculpted the landscape into a place worth seeing.

Bodie State Park – A Gallery

Bodie State Park – A Gallery

Bodie State Park is located along California Highway 395, south of Reno near the town of Bridgeport. It’s an easy day trip from Yosemite over Tioga Pass. Bodie is almost unique in that it is one ghost town that, even though only a small percentage of the original buildings are still standing, it looks like it was a vibrant town only yesterday. Well worth the time to visit.

Cochem, Germany – A Gallery

Cochem, Germany – A Gallery

When we arrived in Cochem, there were probably 1,000 bikers in town, plus a compliment of other tourists from tour companies, boat excursions, and folks like us, who just drove in for the day or weekend. It apparently was a German holiday, and the Germans were out in full force.

There were bikes, boats, old cars, new cars, just about every kind of recreational vehicle you would expect to see in the US, but in German style. Bikes, for example, are overwhelmingly Harley Davidson at a typical US motorcycle rally. In Cochem, there were a few Harleys, but the bikes were a mixture of other brands. Many European brands including BMW and Triumph, but many Japanese bikes too. Continue reading →
