Spring has sprung and traveling season is almost here

Published 7:01 am Sunday, April 5, 2015

At the arrival of the first day of spring, we know that more beautiful weather is in store for us and we are all anxious to get out and start traveling again.

A variety of trips, some one-day and others more extended, have been planned for 2015.

It’s still early in the year so some trips may be added as travel ideas pop up during the year.
