Making a travel guide to the place you called home for 18 years is more difficult than it sounds. Sure, I love exploring, but when I head home now I go to those places that I know will give me exactly what I want and only add a new place every now and then. Regardless, I’ve been asked by friends traveling to the area what my top places are so I wanted to create a resource (I will update after each visit with anything new)!

- Musical Instrument Museum – really interesting exhibits on music from around the world
