May 15th, 2012 at 1:00PM: Some people – me, for instance – tend to skip museums when traveling in favor of fresh air or outdoor recreation. It's always a treat when I can combine the two, especially because I'm fascinated by indigenous cultures. Though not considered museums in the strictest sense, National Historic Parks, Monuments and the like often do have buildings, exhibits, or relics with educational ...

Jun 21st, 2009 at 1:00PM: For a Father's Day nod to famous fathers, it seemed apropos to do a post on Father's Day travel with a twist.

May 12th, 2008 at 11:30AM: If one roll of duct tape is handy for taking care of almost everything but the kitchen sink--oh, wait, you can use it for that too, how about what happens when there are rolls and rolls of the stuff? Head to the Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival and you'll find out. In Avon, Ohio, "Duct Tape Capital of the World," the place where Duck brand duct tape is made, duct tape shows up in parade floats, ...
