Pelican Bay, Naples, FL USA

When it comes to Florida, I’m an east-coast-veteran. From Miami to Jupiter, I’ve been to all of the “hot spots” along the coast where grandparents congregate. So when my mother invited me to spend the weekend with her in Naples, I was intrigued and excited to check out the west coast. Sunsets over the water […]

Fresh Attractions, Charlotte Douglas Airport, Charlotte, NC USA
