Bodie Island Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras National Seashore

Lighthouse Lineage

Bodie Island Lighthouse is an unmissable attraction on the Outer Banks. There is currently an effort to restore the tower so that visitors may climb to the top. Currently, they can go in the bottom and get a feel for its height as well as explore the keeper’s cottage.

My grandfather was the son of the last keeper of Bodie Island Light. I grew up hearing many stories of his adolescence there. In the summer he volunteers for the park service telling tourists those same tales. Not bad for a 90 year old great-great-grandaddy!

William Jewell College, Liberty

Liberal Arts and Historic Campus

William Jewell is a small liberal arts college with a beautiful campus located in Liberty, Missouri.

My favorite spot is the old cemetery where you can find great examples of nineteenth century funerary art.

Columbia, Missouri

Not My Favorite College Town

I love college towns, and Columbia certainly has all the requisite hallmarks associated with a large state university city. But if you’re in this part of the country and you’re looking for a good time, I’d recommend Lawrence, Kansas the home of KU. Lawrence has more to offer in the way of charm, and it has a more laid-back feel.
