my radar to put on my list of places to visit. You know when we create bucket lists, we go all out with the Maldives, Bora Boras, and Abu Dhabis of the world. I'm so glad that my friend Brandy suggested San Diego for us to visit while we were in southern California. I've been a Kimpton fan for a while but I've never stayed in one of their properties. I have passed by some in different companies and even went to visit some friends in one in DC. San Diego was finally my turn and time. It was my time

sites in the Laurel Highlands. Developing a hotel in the town of California would inevitably cause distance decay for the guests. Meaning, travelers who want to visit the Ohiopyle and Laurel Highland region or Pittsburgh, would most likely choose the lodging establishment that is a shorter distance to where they want to visit.

My parents are the epitome of the classic tourist archetype, and forced my siblings and I on many a road trip in our green minivan at least twice a year during my childhood. I have spent time in forty five of the fifty states, experiencing museums and tourist traps galore, but one of my favorite sites to see as a child was the Crazy Horse monument in the side of South Dakota’s Black Hills. The face of a Native American chief, memorialized in mountainside, is incomplete, but taking shape to pay homage

Georgia's Providence Canyon is located about 150 miles south of Atlanta, and is part of a 1,003-acre outdoor recreation area.

The main destination of the seven hundred ninety six mile road trip was Crater Lake National Park. I had been there once before in the Spring of 2011 and made my first memory of being in snow that accumulated on the ground for more than a millisecond. However, this trip was in July.
