During our spring trip to Overland Park, Kansas, the kids and I visited Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. What I figured would be, maybe, a 2-hour visit turned into a 5-hour adventure.

MidCoast Maine’s premier boutique hotel “is designed to spark curiosity and evoke excitement.” I may or may not have told a little lie recently when I wrote about the top five reasons to travel to Rockland, Maine.
