Traveling, Animals, Gardening, fishing, Hiking, History

I have traveled extensively throughout the United States,Camping,  fishing, and hiking.  visiting National and state parks.  I have recently started to explore Europe.  I enjoy visiting historic locations, and viewing historic architecture.   A travel goal of mine would be to see as many of the UNESCO World Heritage sites as I can.  While at home I love to spend time in my garden and with my dogs.  Going to parks and hiking through the mountains with my wife and our two dogs several times a week.
