    Creating New Travel Traditions

    When B was growing up, every summer from when he was six months old through high school graduation, his parents loaded up the family in the RV to head to Sandusky to camp at Cedar Point.

    I’m often asked if I travel full time or if I have a “real” job. It’s a fair question: if you follow this blog, it seems like I’m constantly jetting off somewhere new. Here’s the truth: I do have a “real job” – I work full time for a PR firm in Washington, D.C. I…
