Sadly it was my grandfathers funeral that got me to beautiful Bradenton. I ended up getting to go to Coquina Beach for one day though. And that was absolutely lovely.. and necessary.

For my 18th Birthday / Graduation trip, I headed with my best friend to NYC. We checked out times square and greenwich village and stayed in Terrytown.

I traveled to the Acadian (french influenced)land of Nova Scotia, Canada, a remarkably scenic place where the mountains meet the sea... My time was consumed with whale watching and photographing the beauty around me.

A few years back, I went to Brantford Canada to visit some friends. The weather was beautiful and the trip entertaining.

I took a leadership class during my senior year in high school. We got to travel to DC and meet with senators to discuss bills on various issues. My groups was Gun Control.

Headed out to Seattle to see my brother... excursions to Tacoma and Point Defiance, Snoqualmie Falls...
