Photos taken October 2011 Waaaaaaay back in high school, some of us took a 4-day trip to Quebec, with sightseeing in both Montreal and Quebec City, and I always wanted to go back. So for our 2011 fall trip, we decided to combine two of our proposed vacation...
I had been meaning to get to this one for a number of years, but it was usually out of the way. Since we were touring a mansion in Newport, I finally had a chance to get to the “Viking Tower” in Touro Park. Nobody seems to be...
This bridge, right next to Fort Knox, is one of only 3 of its kind in the world. Visitors can ride to the top and get a 360-view from the 42-story tall observatory. On a clear day you can supposedly see up to 100 miles. Yeah…that’s pretty far...
