Back in Feb. I posted an entry about traveling being on hold due to getting a new job. Boy was a wrong. I've been to Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Myrtle Beach, Lake Lure and Baltimore twice. Even though they are work related trips, I still managed to get in a bit of site seeing during our down time. Entries on Baltimore and Lake Lure to come.



Thanks for reading,
