I’ve passed this Charlottesville, Virginia neighborhood on a couple of trips but this time I finally took the time to stop and photograph it.

I was able to tour Moody Mansion several years ago while stopping in Galveston before hopping on a corporate cruise to Mexico. I planned a couple of extra days in Texas to explore the thin spit of land hugging the shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico. When I travel, two of my tourist “musts” is [...]
