I don’t think it matters which Hawaiian Island you visit. I think they all have a beauty and charm that draws people from around the world. From the historic Pearl Harbor to the Volcano National Parks, the Hawaiian islands is on my “wanderlust” wish list. Here are some do the sites and destinations on my list: (1) Pearl Harbor (Photo Source: Indulgy) (2) Authentic Luau (Photo Source: Aloha Hawaii) (3) Volcanoes National Park (Photo Source: Hello Society) (4) Diamond Head in Oahu (Photo Source: Pinterest) (5) Iolani Palace (Photo Source: Aloha Hawaii) (6) Pineapple Farm (Photo Source: To Hawaii) (7) […]
Wanderlust: France
Every summer, that feeling of wanderlust hits me so strong that I spend hours looking at travel sites dreaming of where I’d love to be at that exact moment in time.

It is a 1-1/2 day event in Lebanon, Tenn., and it showcases the cool and unique cars, trucks and motorcycles of different car clubs from around the south. People from a dozen or so states travel to this car show to not only see the rides, but to see the pin-up girls (sorry, I didn’t take photos of any pin-up girls). The guys even dress up and some look very similar to “The Fonz”! […]

(Thank you, Joy, for identifying this photo!) I’d never heard of this before, so I “googled” it. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_case_(Chondrichthyes): An egg case or egg capsule, colloquially known as a mermaid’s purse or devil’s purse, is a casing that surrounds the fertilized eggs of some sharks, skates, and chimaeras. They are among the common objects which are washed up by the sea. They […]
