Charlene and I have visited thousands of destinations over the past few years. Some attractions are clearly designed to take as much money from us as possible, and others, like Heartland Forest Nature Experience, were created to celebrate life. Heartland was founded in 2004 to…
We travel a lot. Many places we have seen and discovered. We do not seek out connections, but it adds to the travelling experience when we find them. We were on a weekend trip to a winter event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. One of the…
