It has been a long time since I've updated my blog! I apologize for that. Sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes I just forget and loose track of the things I have started and need to keep up. With that said, I really appreciate you all for reading this travel blog and hope to get it going again soon. But first, I want to share with you my latest creation! The Inheritance Inn, by my alter ego, Rebekah Burton, is now available as a Kindle book at Amazon. I will also make it available in paperback form soon.

This past weekend we decided to go and reminisce. I've seen this mural before but I don't think we had a picture of it until now.
