Heritage Farmstead Museum | Plano, TX

October 2, 2025 by E. Casa de Calvo

This is an amazing place that offers educational workshops and a historical look at homesteading in the late 1800s and early 1900s. We really enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt experience, with farm animals and live demonstrations.

Capitol Hill | Washington, DC

January 22, 2021 by E. Casa de Calvo

I had the pleasure of staying at the Capitol Hill Hotel, located in (you guessed it!) Capitol Hill. Not only was the hotel beautiful and full of wonderful amenities, it was also located in a charming historic residential area. It was so much fun walking around the neighborhood, and enjoying the local restaurants and businesses.
