  • Greetings from Weir Farm National Historical Park

    n 2023, I took my father to Great Smoky Mountains National Park after he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He'd always wanted to visit more national parks, so we set aside a day just for the two of us. We spent a quiet afternoon sharing a glass of whiskey,…

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    Spent 10 days in the park with family. It was truly amazing. We saw Bears, Moose, Deer and many other types of wild like. Parks are such peaceful places and the best place to unwind.
