The second trip was a wonderful week-long vacation to the “homeland” with my family – Ireland!
History Lives in Hamilton
I’ve always been a lover of history. My first solo foray into history was via the American Girl Doll books featuring Felicity, the plucky revolutionary war era red-head who rode horses and fought for what she believed in.

I heard about Scott’s Pizza Tours on the first-ever episode of the “An Even Better You” podcast by Mental Floss (read about my semi-newfound 2015 podcast obsession here), and immediately knew that it was the activity for us.
