Emotional impact
We’ve been blessed to visit more than 100 places in our 17 years of covering travel, and this fun-filled, more adventure-packed trip came to be. Perhaps it was the development of many locks – a technological marvel that our father celebrated every year, taking my mother “forbidden” on a visit to the Eisenhower Locks.

For many reasons, it was the best!
