Colorado Springs and North Platte, NE	2012-06-28	Colorado Springs and North Platte, NE Many of the places we wanted to visit in Colorado Springs were closed because of the fires. As a result, we cut our time there short and headed on to North Platte, NE.
Winnebago Pre-Rally Week	2012-07-06	Winnebago Pre-Rally Week Forest City, Iowa is a small town that comes alive for two weeks in July every year when Winnebagos from all parts of the country arrive for the Grand National Rally. We got here a week early to enjoy some of the local color and food.

Lake Erie Area	2012-07-30	Lake Erie Area This is one of the Great Lakes that we've never visited before. It's fun to explore a new area.
Upstate New York and Massachusetts	2012-08-05	Upstate New York and Massachusetts It's been fun discovering upstate New York and Massachusetts. The only time I've ever been in upstate New York was when I was about 8-years old and my mother wanted to find her old house in Catskill. And then in 4th grade we had a field trip to Sturbridge Village.
Cape Cod	2012-08-12	Cape Cod Cape Cod to artists is changing moods and patterns of light, color and space. To me, a visitor, it is beaches, sand dunes, lighthouses and beauty.

Pennsylvania Dutch Country	2012-08-23	Pennsylvania Dutch Country The rich farmland of this area was settled by the "plain people" (Amish and Mennonite) in Colonial times. They have retained the convictions and customs of their ancestors which are reflected in their dress, their work and the way they spend their leisure time.
Washington D.C.	2012-08-30	Washington D.C. Washington D.C. pulses the heartbeat of our nation. It is the people it represents, the freedom it stands for, the history it preserves and the future it promises. The task of forging a visionary capitol of monuments, broad avenues and spacious circles fell upon French-born architect Pierre-Charles L'Enfant. Thanks to him, today we have a gorgeous capitol city.
