“A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”

Travel is essential to the soul!

Here in my home, we're helping our daughter get ready to return to school. She's spending this next semester abroad, which takes a lot more preparation than most back to school events. Fortunately, I believe we have everything under control, including having friends who live near the places she will be just in case of emergencies.

Many other families throughout the US are also preparing to send kids back to school, even if only nearby. I hope things are going well on that front. So, do you have any last minute vacation plans? Many hotels and resorts are offering discounts in order to snag those last minute guests. Will you be taking advantage?

Here's what is happening on the Southeast USA site at BellaOnline.com.

We've got a great new article:

National Civil War Naval Museum
Usually when you think about the Civil War, you remember the great land battles like Gettysburg or Bull Run. However, much of the war was fought on the sea and major waterways. Discover the National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus, GA

We want to remind you about another article that might interest you, just in case you missed it:

Heyward-Washington House

"George Washington slept here." These words, at one time, were posted in so many locations that they came to be fodder for comedians. "That George Washington fellow must have slept around a lot." Yet, one home in Charleston can truthfully make this claim.
