Pittsburg Landing

Civil War, Road Trip, States, Tennessee

Today it Shiloh National Military Park is a peaceful place as it was in the first days of April 1862 when Grant’s Army was encamped between this Tennessee River landing and Shiloh Church two miles away.  Then things changed dramatically in the predawn hours of Sunday April 6th. One of the most significant battles  of the American Civil War was fought here. The two sides sustained casualties of more than 23,000.  Many thousands of young men were laid  to rest in what is now a National Cemetery and in Confederate graves on the battlefield. It’s a place to pause, to learn, and to reflect.

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
