Springtime Events Around the Globe

Are you having a nice weekend so far?  Mine has been very relaxing. 

Yesterday, I paid a visit to the African American Museum of Nassau County.  I took a bunch of photos and can't wait to tell you all about this lovely and culturally rich museum right here on Long Island in Hempstead.

Is anyone else ready to usher in Spring.  Well, according to Punxsutawney Phil, earlier this month, we are still in for another 5 or so weeks of Winter.

But, we can still fantasize about Spring, right?

You guys know how much I love AFAR Magazine and the amazing features they have.  Here is my latest fave featuring 13 Spring Events Worth Traveling for in 2018
