Today, we’ve put together a list of the best free things to do in Charleston SC to help you stay on budget for your next trip. Aside from our hometown Atlanta, Charleston is my next favorite city in the South! We try to visit at least once a year since there’s always something new for us to see, do, and learn. The city is overflowing with history and the best part is many attractions are free to experience.
We get a green card, return to Raleigh and continue to travel as a family taking shorter road trips and vacations and our extended 12 month RV road trip across America. The final episode in our travel story series for our travel podcast. This is the episode where we discover how we can finally return to the US. The 14 year dream realized in the most unexpected way. We truly came full circle. We share our travel experiences for the past few years as we continue to travel as a family taking shorter road trips and vacations and our extended 12 month RV road trip across America.
Sometimes when you travel your destination may be surrounded by other points of interest that are nearby enough to take a visit. This can truly be said for the city of El Paso Texas. This city sits on the westernmost part of the state where Texas, New Mexico and Mexico meet. Do you want to know of things to do in El Paso Texas?
El Paso the city is rich in history, culture and food. If you ever go there you must visit the downtown museum row and the nearby mission churches as well. El Paso is the sixth largest city in Texas, United States. The city of El Paso and other nearby cities, such as Juarez and Las Cruces, New Mexico are referred to as The Borderland. El Paso, nicknamed “Sun City” is also said to be the home to children of the Spanish Conquistadors. Want to really know what to do in El Paso Texas?
What to do in El Paso Texas is an open ended question since your options are limitless. Most visitors are not able to see and experience the New El Paso experience in even a full week visit. That is why visitors often return to enjoy the El Paso culture year after year.
Many visitors to downtown El Paso often stay in the mid-century modern hotel called Hotel Indigo which has views of the downtown area. This entire downtown area is widely known as El Centro and has a bicultural identity. The El Paso downtown Arts District which is known for its exhibitions, concerts, festivals and museums. The El Paso Museum of Art has free admission and a unique collection of modern contemporary Mexican and American art.
Another must see is the historical missions in El Paso dating back to 1660. The El Paso Mission Trail Association is dedicated to the education, promotion and preservation of the missions at Ysleta, Socorro, and the San Elizario Chapel. These three historical landmarks are listed as the oldest churches in the state of Texas.
You will notice that right across the border is Ciudad Juarez in Mexico. One of the neighborhoods closest to the Mexico border is called Sunset Heights. It’s an older neighborhood but is slowly being reinvested it again to be prominent part of Old El Paso. El Paso is one of the largest ports of entry on the US-Mexico border and it’s a major centre for manufacturing and international trade. In fact it’s the 16th largest trading centre in the United States. It’s also interesting that El Paso’s primary sectors of manufacturing include automobiles and electronic components. Passing the border is an everyday occurrence for many people here in this region of Texas with almost 20,000 pedestrians a day and 35,000 cars.
The entire El Paso region is located on the Chihuahuan Desert. Annual rainfall here is very scarce but it’s more prominent in the summer months. The best views of the city is when you take the scenic drive overlook where you can see the Rio Grande Ciudad de Juarez and surrounding mountains called the Franklin Mountains of Texas that are a small range of mountains that extend from El Paso into New Mexico. The highest peak reaches 7,192 feet.
While in the El Paso area, you must take a trip into New Mexico one and a half hours north to the White Sands National Monument. It’s more like a national park that you have to see to believe. As you come upon White Sands from a distance, it resembles a snow covered white sand winter wonderland.
White Sands National Monument is the largest gypsum dune field in the world. This unique sand gypsum is a mineral that dissolves in water and tends to get washed away but in this one arid region, the climate is dry enough so that the gypsum sand has spread over a 275 square mile area.
The environment here in White Sands is very dramatic and constantly changes with the wind. The White Sands National Monument is the perfect place for locals and visitors alike to do hiking, photo shoots or sledding if you like these beautiful sand dunes
Also about 108 miles by car from El Paso is Cloudcroft, New Mexico. The elevation here is 8,668 feet above sea level and you often get snowfall up here during the winter months.
Cloudcroft is somewhat of a touristy classic 1860’s western timber town with lots of fun things to do and see. The thing you will notice first is the quick change from the high desert below to a mountainous rocky terrain with ponderosa pine everywhere.
My brother Bob and his wife Patty recently visited Cloudcroft, New Mexico with friends and had a fabulous time. They said they were busy all day long visiting the various shops, restaurants and points of interest all over town. Just to let you know, Bob is a snow lover but wore his shoes during most of their visit there.
Cloudcroft’s local museum is filled with the logging and railroad history of the area. Cloudcroft showcases unique events all year long. Summertime temperatures in Cloudcroft at this altitude typically stays in the cool 70 degree range as locals and visitors really enjoy it. During the winter season, it’s all about ice skating, skiing and inner tubing that everyone loves.
Bottom line it’s adventurous to visit the entire El Paso region with New Mexico, Mexico and other attractions being so close. Things to do in El Paso Texas alone will keep you entertained and quite busy all week long day after day so enjoy your stay and welcome to the New El Paso.
Fun, food and adventure in the desert starts here!

“This is a pretty informative TRAVEL USA video produced and published by TOUROPIA on Nov 13, 2017 giving great insight of their select list of the Top 10 Tourist Attractions across the USA. See the full video link at the bottom of this article.”
As one of the largest and most diverse countries in the world, The United States boast an amazing amount of travel destinations ranging from the skyscrapers of New York and Chicago, to the natural wonders of Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and Alaska and also the sunny beaches of California and Florida.
Here’s a look at the top tourist attractions in the USA:
Number 10. French Quarter. New Orleans, Louisiana, is made up of several unique districts, but none is so famous as the French Quarter. Also known as the Vieux Carre, the area truly explores the rich French colonial influences on the city of New Orleans. Incredible architecture abounds, with the St. Louis Cathedral being the main attraction. The French Quarter boasts the Moon Walk, a paved walkway next to the Mississippi River, as well as Bourbon Street, the undeniable hub of nightlife, drinking and entertainment in the city.
Number 9. White House. The White House in Washington DC is the official residence and office of the President of the United States. It was built between 1792 and 1800 and first used by President John Adams. If you’re lucky enough to get inside on a public tour, you’ll see several rooms in the main residence. Tours are available only for groups of 10 or more and must be requested up to six months in advance through your member of Congress or your country’s US Ambassador.
Number 8. Denali National Park. The Denali National Park and Preserve is located in Interior Alaska and contains Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. The word “Denali” means “the high one” in the native Athabaskan language and refers to Mount McKinley. In addition, the park protects an incredible wilderness area that contains grizzly bears, caribou, moose, wolves, and numerous other creatures.

Number 7. Las Vegas Strip. The gambling mecca of the world, Las Vegas is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. Casinos can be found throughout Las Vegas, but the strip, a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South, contains the most of them. It features giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. The casinos often have names and themes that evoke romance, mystery, and far-away destination.
Number 6. Kilauea. Kilauea is the most recent of a series of volcanoes that have created the Hawaiian Archipelago. It is a very low, flat shield volcano, vastly different in profile from the high, sharply sloping peaks of stratovolcanoes. Kilauea is one of the most active volcano on the Earth and for that reason an invaluable resource for volcanologists. Thirty-three eruptions have taken place since 1952, not including the current eruption which started on January 3, 1983 and is still ongoing.
Number 5. Niagara Falls. Situated between the state of New York and the province of Ontario, Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders on the North American continent. Niagara Falls is actually three different falls, the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Horseshoe Falls is located on the Canadian side while the other are located in New York. With more than 14 million visitors each year it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world.
Number 4. Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. The bridge took four years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed, and has become an internationally recognized symbol of California. The famous red-orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick fog that frequently shrouds the bridge.
Number 3. Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park was the world’s first national park, set aside in 1872 to preserve the vast number of geysers, hot springs, and other thermal areas, as well as to protect the incredible wildlife and rugged beauty of the area. Yellowstone lies on top of a gigantic hotspot where light, hot, molten mantle rock rises towards the surface. Subsequently, the park contains half of all the world’s known geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples of geysers and hot springs. In addition, grizzly bears, bison and wolves can all be found within the park borders.
Number 2. Manhattan, NYC. Manhattan is one of New York’s five boroughs and is what people most often think of when they picture New York City. It’s familiar skyline and sights have been featured a thousand times on screen. Here you can walk in the shadow of the skyscrapers, picture the Statue of Liberty, see a Broadway show , climb the Empire State building, stroll Central Park, window shop on 5th Avenue or stagger around a museum.
Number 1. Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is located in northern Arizona and is one of the great tourist attractions in the United States. Carved over several million years by the Colorado River, the canyon attains a depth of over 1 mile and 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not the deepest or the longest canyon in the world but the overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape offers visitor spectacular vistas that are unmatched throughout the world.

It was fun for me personally to discover a trending YouTube video featuring James Corden’s Astronaut Training with LEGO2 Movie Stars that include Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett. What made it fun is because as I have been several times to the NASA Space Center located in Huntsville Alabama Space and their Space Camp is something I only dreamed that I could have experienced as a youngster as I was an avid fan of NASA back then.
James Corden invites the stars, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Will Arnett of The LEGO Movie 2 to Space Camp at the NASA Space Center in Alabama for a battery of astronaut ready tests to determine who is most fit and qualified to make a career change as an astronaut.
The newest LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is showing in theaters starting on February 8th 2019.
The always skit funny James Corden and his wayward cast of NASA wannabe Reluctant Astronaut recruits are welcomed to Space Camp by Captain Robert “Hoot” Gibson who is a retired US Navy fighter pilot and a NASA Space Shuttle Pilot who logged over 36 days in orbit. Don Knotts would have loved to been in this group.
One of the first test that Captain Gibson puts the recruits through is with the Space Camp Dual Centrifuge System designed for trainees.
The Centrifuge was my favorite ride at the Huntsville Alabama NASA location although the Group Centrifuge System intended for the general public was one I personally went on and it thankfully had a lower impact rating attached to it.
My favorite part of this whole video is when James was in the Space Shuttle simulator and broke out to the tune, Rocket Man by Elton John. Hilarious!
I’m guessing by now that you have watched this amusing video in it’s entirety and agree that it’s pure fun and games for this foursome of soon to be rejected Astronaut Cadets. If ever you are traveling in the great state of Alabama, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville is an absolute tourism destination location that you must visit. It is an interactive and highly integrated Space Museum in itself. Be prepared to spend the entire day there.
In the conclusion of this testing, Captain Hoot Gibson announces to the trainees that all of them exhibited the intelligence, bravery and creativity that they look for in Astronauts, but there can be only one winner. With that said, he announces that Elizabeth Banks is the winner because she had the Right Stuff in the final analysis. Elizabeth took it like a true and quite humble champion by quickly asking, ” When do we go in space?” You have to see the funny reactions of everyone else.
You can click this link to learn more all about Space Camp with one of their best locations at NASA’s U.S. Space & Rocket Center situated in beautiful Huntsville, or simply go directly to their website at: https://www.spacecamp.com
Also be sure to watch The Late Late Show with James Corden weeknights at 12:35 AM ET/11:35 PM CST. Only on CBS.
As always… Safe Travels Everyone!

Do you have a desire to travel (wanderlust) but when it comes down to it the reason you don’t is because it’s a money issue? Why if I told you that I can personally help you with changing that situation within a month if not sooner so you too can start enjoying the GoodLife everyday starting today?
How is that possible? Have your ever heard of crowd funding?
Now I’m not speaking of the traditional crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe or Patreon that are marketed with multi-million dollar budgets within all forms (television, radio, print, etc.) of the mainstream media everyday.
Actually it is those high profile crowdfunding platforms that you have to pretty much market all of your personal crowdfunding campaigns yourself to countless friends, family and total strangers in order to get donations. It’s also those high profile crowdfunding platforms that are designed to receive all of your donations first so they get their commissions initially before you receive anything.
What I am talking about is the new method of cooperative crowdfunding where you are funded peer to peer and most often start receiving 100% of your donations within hours if not a few days. There are no middlemen companies involved to get their percentage of your donations first… and you really need to only find just TWO PEOPLE to start donating to your cause (not thousands) to get the floodgates of other donations to open up and start streaming in.
It’s indeed a Crowdfunding Revolution that is taking place globally and with the recent advancement of a new technology component called the Mobius Loop technology system that is now in place, it’s definately the right time and place to begin to Fund Any Or All Of Your Dreams today!
Are you ready to take a look yet?
Just CLICK THIS LINK RIGHT HERE or on the image above, fill in your information and then simply just sit back watch a few short videos, especially the last one to see what it’s all about. I guarantee you will be impressed how easy it can be.

Introducing our newest monthly segment at Travel USA Discounts… it’s our TOP 3 TRAVEL USA VLOGGER’S REVIEW. Over this most recent holiday season our staff got together to come up with a fun project that we could do collectively as a special segment each month for our ever populating viewership base.
We decided to start this January 2019 a vlog review segment and feature three different USA related VLOG Channels from YouTube and showcase and review three of their respective videos each. Sounds fun, right?
With that said, we searched YouTube videos high and low for the most interesting vlogs out there that caught our eye. Going into this search, our thinking is that our criteria for selecting our initial video choices will be rather simplistic. We were looking for vlog videos that offered the most genuine and original content.
We also looked at the personalities of the vloggers if they had fun, a sense of adventure while projecting enjoyment doing their videos. Finally their videos had to resonate with those of us that love to travel to a variety of destination locations all across America.
It really doesn’t matter to us if your content is the most polished with professional edits, music and dialog however we do look for vloggers with upbeat likeability traits. We love those that also portray a sense of anticipation and discovery within their travel videos too.
A lot of our viewers agree that it’s not really the final destination location of travel videos that capture their interest and imagination but sometimes it’s the entirety of the journey from start to finish. That’s why many successful travel vloggers will have video footage of them leaving for their destination by car on a fun road trip or by air travel with shots of them at the airport leaving, or showing the wing outside their window high above the clouds.
Let it be known that we at Travel USA Discounts are offering everyone an Open Invitation to vlog about travel destination locations, both big and small within the USA and submit it to our staff to potentially get it featured at some point on our blog. You can be a newbie vlogger or a seasoned pro.
You can submit personal vlog storylines of just getting started vlogging with only your smart phone camera while using a free online video editing software to advanced professional video editing technology.
The point is, if you can produce favorable vlog content, chances are that we will want to at some point showcase your work. You can create a video from a visit to Times Square in New York City, or a video from a travel to a remote cornfield in Albion, Nebraska. Remember, it’s not where you shoot your video, but rather your adventurous storyline behind it.
Starting off our Top 3 Vlogger Reviews, in no particular order we discovered Blair & Matt. Their YouTube channel is named, “The Wandering Wyatts.” To find them, our staff used a particular travel vlog usa search method that pulled them right up. After reviewing numerous videos within their channel, they pretty matched much all of our criteria guidelines.
All we can say about this fun couple is that we all here at Travel USA Discounts have become big fans of theirs… almost instantly from the first video of theirs that we reviewed.
This is the first video we came across in 2019 that we discovered. It was created by a young couple that vlogs for enjoyment named Blair and Matt known as the Wandering Wyatt’s.
Their opening introduction in this video really captured our interest regarding the beer bottle caps that actually promote small town destinations all across the State of Texas. What an innovative idea.
Actually it’s a bit of genius when it comes to travel promotions if you ask us. Wyatt discusses his great idea to travel to the first location that pops up under the bottle top.
See their second Wander Texas Series episode here.
On this second video from the Wandering Wyatt’s, what we really like about Blair and Matt a lot is their transparency regarding all things personal including earnings that they have received from their YouTube channel. They also openly talk about other sources of revenue from their channel that they may eventually plan to pursue.
When it comes down to it their vlogging adventure started as a simple hobby or passion of Blair’s and kind of evolved into what it is today. She receives sheer enjoyment from putting their videos together and editing. This helps them connect with other people. The modest amount of money that they get from YouTube for their channel is just considered by them to be bonus income.
This video is their first one in 2019 and is quite informative as Blair and Matt spend a few moments to update their channel subscribers where they been recently. Blair explains that they disappeared for awhile to spend some quality time with loved ones over the Christmas Holiday season. For those that didn’t know, there is a baby on the way and is sure to bring much excitement and blessings into their lives.
They also discuss plans to not make too many plans in their immediate future until they figure things out. The last part of this video, Blair & Matt share lots of video and pictures of fun and games with family over the Christmas.
We think the Wandering Wyatt’s YouTube Channel is only going to get better and better in the months and years to come. With the addition of a new baby, they decided to put their RV Travels on hold for awhile as they clear their property to build a new container style home. We are anxiously looking forward to many more entertaining videos to come and wish Blair & Matt much success in their future.
Be sure to subscribe to Blair & Matt’s, The Wandering Wyatt’s channel on YouTube today!
It’s now time to introduce you to Kyle and Makenna Gott, a couple of sweethearts that has a lot of cool things happening on their their Gott Love channel on YouTube. Not only are all of their edits crisp and precise, their music selections also include a Gott Love theme song and their own branded merchandise for sale too! That folks is called awesomeness!
This is an exceptional video that features the love story beginnings and adventures of Makenna & Kyle Gott and the crazy story of how they initially met on YouTube while Kyle was still serving in the United States Air Force.
If you like big Mall Shopping Centers, there is none larger then the Mall Of America. See Makenna and Kyle as explore this massive mall while in Minnesota and experience a variety of high tech amusement park rides and food with a little shopping along the way.
By chance they encounter fellow youtuber named Marissa and her family. Kyle notices her vlogging camera and strikes up a quick conversation confirming that yes she vlogs too. After lunch, they all decide that it would be a lot of fun to enjoy each others company and ride on all the amusement rides together.
Looks like a great time for all at the Mall Of America indeed.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on a road trip across America for 6 months? This video captures Kyle and Makenna’s midwestern journey that has them leaving Denver Colorado to trek across Kansas for a quick pitstop in Wichita, then to Kansas City for awhile on their way up to Iowa to spend some time with family.
Before leaving Denver they switch vehicles with friends for a larger, more roomy Chevrolet Suburban to continue on their journey. See Kyle and Makenna traveling across the great plains for over 500 miles seeing nothing but flat terrain and hundreds of wind turbines off I-70.
As darkness arrives they finally arrive at their destination in Wichita. They were scheduled to MeetUp with some of their YouTube Channel Fans at the Fairmount Coffee House. It seems everyone had a great time with fun loving conversations and a quick game of Yahtzee.
Say, isn’t that the Fairmount Coffee House location they went to across from Wichita State University? Yep, that’s my hometown where I grew up and the college I went to school at.
The next day Kyle and Makenna plan to get up early in the morning and head out towards Kansas City for their next stop on their way to Iowa. During their visit to Kansas City, they plan to a lot of sight seeing and also catch their first ever NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs. Good times ahead!
Do you Gott Love yet? We do here at Travel USA Discounts and are really looking forward to Makenna and Kyle’s next video adventure for sure. Be sure to subscribe to Makenna & Kyle’s, Gott Love channel on YouTube today!
We are big fans of Tess Christine as she has mega success on her channel that features her passion for Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle all integrated into most every one of her videos that she creates. You will see for yourself the her storylines, video edits and music selections are always exceptional.
You can tell Tess has great taste in everything she experiences in life and that includes her relationship with Patrick, her soon to be husband. You will soon discover that Patrick is also a fun loving adventurer as well and their sometimes this couples impromptu travel escapades make it always exciting to tag along with them and experience life to the fullest.
This was actually the first video that we viewed of Tess Christine as we were searching for videos to add to our own Travel USA California playlist on our Travel USA Discounts YouTube Channel.
We were all simply amazed by not only Tess’s storyline of traveling to San Francisco to make this video, but the radiance and likability factor that both she and her fiancé Patrick projects on video.
Living your everyday life in New York City can be fun and adventurous in itself however knowing where you come from can be just as exciting as we see Tess and Patrick return to their roots to revisit where they grew up. Minnesota and Wisconsin has never looked so good!
It’s always fun to see someone’s hometown from their own eyes as they recreate experiences with family and friends that made them who they are. In Tess’s home state of Wisconsin, you will see scenes of them riding bicycles around the neighborhood on a summer day, waltzing through beautiful sunflower fields in the countryside, eating stone fired pizza outdoors at a community gathering and having fun on the local lake with friends.
Speaking of having fun at the lake, the last part of this video takes us to Patrick’s home state on Minnesota where there’s over 10,000 lakes to choose from to swim and have fun. It’s obvious that one of Patrick’s passions growing up in his hometown was going down to the local library to get a good book and maybe even hang out downtown to enjoy a cold summertime refreshment drink with a straw.
Visiting the local garden market looked like pure enjoyment as did just relaxing on the spacious front porch at home.
This video concludes with Tess and Patrick’s visit to a nearby local waterfall attraction and a day ending boat ride on the local town lake that perfectly framed their visit to Minnesota.
It’s very cool where you can visit somewhere in the USA that you can connect to a famous movie that was filmed on location there. In this case you will see how passionate Tess is regarding the movie Twilight (2008) as a lot of it was filmed on location just outside of Portland OR.
Patrick, are you really starting your day off for breakfast in Portland at VooDoo Doughnuts with a Captain Crunch cereal topping on that huge doughnut? It was really fun Tess & Patrick attempt to recreate famous scenes from Twilight with reciting movie script lines from sort of information based cue card markers along their path.
In the last minute they decided to hop on a train to Seattle Washington for an overnight stay. The next day they decided to explore the world famous Pike Place Market area and experienced tons of fun.
So we think Tess’s Channel brings her viewers tons of videos that accentuates her and Patrick’s normal, everyday genuine personalities that also integrates a sense of beauty, fashion and travel adventure into their everyday lifestyle of just being who they are.
Also, most of you have likely figured out by now that Tess & Andrew are engaged to be married. Be sure to subscribe to their channel on YouTube to follow their Week In My Life video series as they prepare to announce the big day.
As loyal channel subscribers ourselves, we at Travel USA Discounts wish this happy couple our very best and a prosperous future together. Congratulations!
So there it is. That’s our Top 3 Travel USA Vlogger’s Review for January 2019.
🙂
As always… Safe Travels Everyone!

Many refer to it as Christmas Village USA and it’s located in Leavenworth Washington just about 30 miles east of Seattle. Other then Frankenmuth, Michigan and perhaps Helen, Georgia there is possibly no place like this Bavarian themed looking village of Leavenworth Washington during the entire Christmas season. In fact it was once rated by the Travel Channel as the #1 Christmas Destination to put on your bucket list to visit.
Every year at this time, Leavenworth is decked out for Christmas with aromatic smells of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, crooning Christmas carolers strolling about the streets, numerous festive food and beverage booths, horse drawn sleigh rides, local seasonal holiday crafts, outdoor musical entertainment and even Saint Nick himself.
This picturesque Bavarian-themed mountain village in Leavenworth is a tourism haven for browsing the town’s quaint old-world themed shops, savoring authentic German food from street stands and local restaurants as you enjoy live outdoor Omp pah pah Christmas Holiday musical entertainment. To really get in the Christmas spirit, take a fancible ride on a horse-drawn winter carriage.
At dusk, gather with thousands of other visitors for the Christmas Lights Ceremony along the town promenade. Watch in child-like excitement as all the surrounding trees and buildings all over Leavenworth suddenly come alive from the tens of thousands twinkling lights that magically illuminate Leavenworth in all of it’s Christmas time glory!
Tourism in Leavenworth Washington is fantastic any time of the year. In fact the folks that help promote Leavenworth Tourism claim they have four distinct seasons to show off the wonder and majesty of their little corner of the world. The Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce and Visit Leavenworth do phenomenal promotions all year long. 
We often use our Travel USA Discounts BLOG to promote other Bloggers or those of you that VLOG across America showcasing hidden gems to visit like Leavenworth. Our staff has discovered a cute couple named Mara and David under the YouTube Channel, Fireside Traveler to feature within this post. See for yourself as they drive US Highway 2 east across Stevens’s pass through the Cascade Mountains to explore Leavenworth, Washington during the festive Christmas Lights Ceremony. What an experience!
I don’t know about you but I’m thinking if I can’t get to Leavenworth Washington this holiday season, I could at least get to Starbucks to see if they have a Egg Nog Mocha like David got on his and Mara’s way to Leavenworth. I’m sure you will agree that now when anybody ask you, “Where is the best Christmas Village in the USA, you will say it’s in Leavenworth of course.”
Merry Christmas!

Let’s take a look at the Top 3 Thanksgiving Day Parades in the USA this season. It’s an annual event in these select cities that takes place in November obviously on Thanksgiving Day itself. Every year, thousands of locals and out of town visitors come to watch theses respective parades, and more than 50 million people view it live on television. There are bands, singers and dance groups, performance fanfares, and of course cheerleaders too. The main attractions always seem to be huge balloons with the image of cartoon characters and super heroes that are indeed bigger then life.
Many volunteers are working to make this year Thanksgiving Day Parade successful. If you’re in NY, Philadelphia, and Chicago, the parades are the events you should not miss. Certainly the month of November is the time of year when America sets aside a day to give thanks and spend time with the family at a table full of vegetables, stuffing, turkey, and pumpkin pie.
Thanksgiving Day has been highly celebrated nationwide since George Washington, the very first president of the United States declared the first Thanksgiving Day in 1789. Even before that there has been different churches within early America that have celebrated Fall Harvest Festivals within their respective communities to give thanks and offers of community fellowship.
How did a nationally recognized single day of Thanksgiving come about? Well, of course the most favorite story says that newly arrived pilgrims were near starving to death in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was because of the disturbing winter patterns in those years when the local native Indians pretty much came to the rescue of the pilgrims with fellowship and offerings. After teaching the Pilgrims how to cultivate the land, the two groups mutually enjoyed a successful harvest, thanked God and celebrated together for three days.
Are you wanting to know what are the top 3 biggest and best Thanksgiving Day Parades across the USA? It’s actually no secret that thousands of Americans have selected their personal favorites from attending these select parades in person or simply watching on television. The top three are from the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
· Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York
· Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia
· McDonald’s Thanksgiving Day parade in Chicago
This well-known Parade does everything it can to create an impressive carousel of extravagant poses, bands, musicians, and personalities. You may have seen this parade in Christmas favorites Miracle on 34th Street. It is always an annual favorite tradition for those to watch on television that stay at home preparing their Thanksgiving Day dinner.
Philadelphia actually plays host each fall to the country’s oldest Thanksgiving parade that’s nearing 100 years old. The parade route begins on JFK Boulevard and ends at the Philadelphia Museum. It features top named celebrities, local choirs, dance groups, and classical music groups. As if that was not enough, you can always count on the appearance of Santa Claus too!
You will see many amazing colors as well as an eclectic blend of characters floating, marching and dancing along State Street in downtown Chicago every Thanksgiving day. This always festive and colorful Thanksgiving Day Parade procession in Chicago started in the United States during the Great Depression and its goal was to lift the mood of Chicago. It certainly has.
In conclusion, the Thanksgiving Day Parade in itself can be considered an American holiday tradition. It is celebrated in large cities and several smaller towns all across the USA.
Always remember that Thanksgiving Day is an occasion and opportunity for you to count your blessings for family, friends and the freedom in your life to make choices. It is the opportunity for you to remember those loved ones who may not be with you on this day. Gratitude is the theme. Let’s celebrate this day with enjoyment and bliss!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Gobble Gobble!

Webtalk, a personal and business friendly social network has fully launched but you also need to know why many are saying that Webtalk is Social Media’s New Sleeping Giant. One of the most attractive carrots that Webtalk is dangling in front of you to join ranks with them are their promises to pay commissions to you just for simply spreading the word about Webtalk to anyone and everyone you know and come in contact with.
Yes the compensation plan is quite exciting, but there are other considerations to take a good long look at Webtalk as well. It really couldn’t have come along at a better time with all the privacy issues, and accusations of partisanship coming out of Facebook nowadays. Even though personally I’m just starting to engage myself into Webtalk bit by bit, I must confess that Webtalk is set up far better then Facebook in my opinion. In fact I plan to use Webtalk a lot to post select articles from my Travel USA Discounts Blog to capture even more social buzz activity and link juice.
Webtalk is the world’s first paid social network platform. It’s the smartest way to manage your relationships both business and personal. Control the news you see and share quite easily.
Within Webtalk, you can easily setup a new contact as either a personal friend or business contact. There are even sub categories like prospect, or team member. I know people who maintain more then one account on other networks because they are trying to keep business, separate from their personal contacts.
The video below is a very insightful introduction to WebTalk’s new “SocialCPX” Platform. I must say it’s brilliant! With SocialCPX, you can literally Earn Commissions as a FREE User. SocialCPX is all about the motto, “Being Social Pays Big” in more ways then one. Learn about SocialCPX soon to be recognized as “The World’s Most Lucrative Affiliate Network.”
If you’re interested in seeing what Webtalk is all about and wish to get started, today is you lucky day! Remember it’s by invitation only, but don’t you worry because you can sign up here under my personal invitation. Just CLICK ON THE Image below to open your INVITATION from me to you or CLICK ON the JOIN WEBTALK HERE blue link below.
Again, always remember that Webtalk is totally free to join. You just need an invitation and I have one saved just for you. At the time of this review, there are now over 1.5 million NEW Active Members. Those numbers seem to be multiplying daily as more and more people are discovering Webtalk and what’s it all about. Another great reason for joining Webtalk is that there is an opportunity to market to a whole new audience.
You might be thinking that the last thing we need is another social media site. Normally I would agree, but I think that Webtalk really has a nice feel to it. It seems that when you are a part of something right at the start, it makes it that much more special when you can witness first hand it’s newfound public acceptance, brand recognition & awareness and overall beta stage success.
I think Webtalk will be around a long time and will give the big guys a run for their money. If it pays like it’s promising to do, Webtalk will become huge. Sign up now and get your profile set up right away.
There’s really no reason not to join Webtalk, and the possibilities are amazing. Marketers are always looking for traffic, and this is a brand new, wide open frontier.
Webtalk – Social Media’s New Sleeping Giant I think is here to stay.
Come join me and let’s get social!
