I grew up with Rick Steves’ voice filling my childhood home and his travel books lining our shelves. Most of those books are still on our shelves today, though many have gathered dust since it’s been a while since anyone in my family has traveled internationally. But that’s the thing with Steves — he traveled […]

My friends and I sat in the darkness of UltraStar Movie Cinemas to watch a silly and fun movie about animated animals, only to be left with tears welling in our eyes, having been deeply moved by Pixar’s “Hoppers.” While this movie was geared toward kids and there were many moments when it felt like […]
