Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park

Located in Atlanta, Georgia you'll find the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park. Stretching several blocks within the Sweet Auburn historic district of Atlanta, the site is comprised of Martin Luther King Jr.'s boyhood home, the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he and his father were pastors, Fire Station No. 6, a visitor center, and the King Center, where Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King are interred.

The impact of Martin Luther King Jr. on the American Civil Rights Movement was monumental, and his words continue to enlighten and inspire to this day. As you enter the Ebenezer Baptist Church recordings of Dr. King's speeches echo throughout the building. It's easy to lose yourself in the passion of his delivery and place yourself within the narrative of that time. 

There's no question that parallels can still be drawn in the social issues of today, however I found the visit to be an uplifting and profound experience. The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Park celebrates a leader who inspired millions of people to demand a better tomorrow. It's a message that resonates more than ever and makes this site a must-see in Atlanta.

France Pavilion | Epcot World Showcase

France is one of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase within Epcot at Walt Disney World in Florida. From gardens to a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, I feel like I could've shot a lot more images here had I not been immediately tempted by the French pastries available.

Don CeSar Hotel in St. Pete Beach, Florida

Opened in 1928, the Don CeSar Hotel in St. Pete Beach, Florida has long been a playground on the Gulf Coast for the rich and famous. Located just outside of St. Petersburg and Tampa, the image of this "Pink Palace" on the beach has attracted travelers for decades. With its striking color, much like the pink flamingo, the Don CeSar has become a Florida icon in its own right.
