Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
Brainerd Below Zero
Though I've always appreciated the allure of the nature in and around Brainerd, it's easy to become desensitized to it's abundance. Born, raised, and currently residing in the central Minnesota lake town, the places I've chosen to highlight here have been engraved in my mind. They are as much a part of me as the people I love. It may sound like an exaggeration, but if you've lived in a community like this, I am sure you can relate. Like anywhere else, we have our faults, but in true Minnesota-nice fashion, I'm going to share the things I love about my hometown. The sights, sounds, and even the chilling arctic cold are home to me.

A Tour of Rocky Mountain National Park
We were awestruck by the beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park when we first visited on a cold day in January. Several of the main roads were closed to traffic, including a portion of Trail Ridge Road, the most popular of the park’s roads. It did not matter. There were more than enough snowy vistas to see and more wildlife than we had ever seen in one place.

The Capital of Silicon Valley
San José is the warmth of the golden sun, high in the bright blue sky. It is the striking green of the rolling hills surrounding the valley I call home. It is the Palm trees that line the boulevards and avenues. It is a hub of transportation, and a crossroads of sorts. Only a 45 minute drive from foggy San Francisco on the scenic 101, or a train ride away from the ocean.

Best Places to Live in California
You don’t have to listen to very many songs to hear an artist sing about Beverly Hills, Malibu, or San Francisco. California is the most sung-about state in the United States and for good reason. California has so many things that draw people in. Nice weather, beautiful beaches, great cities, plenty of adventures, the pacific coast highway, fantastic food, the list could go on. That being said, others will tell you to be careful what you’re getting yourself into with a move to California. Things such as the tax rate, natural disasters, crime rate, traffic, and expensive housing are red flags. If you are on the fence about moving to California, we will tell you the best places to live in the golden state.

There’s No Place Like Home.
To know Brunswick, Georgia is to be from Brunswick, Georgia as it is generally nothing to write home about. Perched on the beautiful coast of the state, it’s an hour south of its rather famous (and for good reason) neighboring city, Savannah. Although some may have heard of St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, or Sea Island, Brunswick is usually left out, often treated as the red-headed step child of the Golden Isles. We share a county, a government, schools, and resources, but the the difference between the mainland and the islands is impossible to ignore.

Ono Island, Alabama: Exclusive and Secluded
Tourists often pass by the Ono Island Bridge just off Perdido Beach Boulevard and wonder what is on the other side. That bridge is the only way a vehicle can get on the island, and it has a guard on duty 24 hours a day. Unless you buy a home or you are a guest of an owner, you are not likely to find out first-hand without an escort. If you are thinking about buying property on the island, a real estate salesperson can get you on the island in a hurry. Bring money. The median price of a home on the island has been estimated at more than one million.
