Thoughts for 2025
Appalachia- June 2025 One big pull for going in the spring will be to visit the spring quilt show in Pigeon Forge. I think this will be a wonderful time of the year to visit this interesting and colorful part of our Country.
Sacred Threads -Aug 2025 Let’s visit the opening of the new home for the Sacred Threads exhibit and then look at religion in America stopping at the Ark Experience, Shaker & Amish communities.
New England - Fall Colors - Oct 2025 The New England colors are always a hit! This year let’s go to Niagara Falls (American), take the train ride in Maine, see some coastal villages and maybe get a little history!
