It’s interesting to me that when most people consider a vacation in the southern United States, certain cities tend to come up again and again.

It’s a big anniversary for me. I wasn’t really sure what “Toland Travels” was going to turn into when I started it, but I’m really happy with what how it’s evolving. This marks my 40th post! The time flies by. It’s Father’s Day, and I traveled to visit mine this weekend. While I was there […]
