Favorite Places

I don't get around a lot, but I've been to some neat places and have done a little bit of world travel. Here are the places I've most enjoyed. 
  • Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Nothing like it. I could spend days there.
  • Florence, Italy. Was there on my 15th anniversary. Would gladly go again. The "David" statue was magnificent.
  • Gettysburg Battlefield. First went with my family as a kid, then with a school field trip. Pam and I were there a couple years ago.
  • Branson, Missouri. Been there four times, never get tired of it.
  • St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It's huge, just huge
  • Grand Canyon. Been there twice. Nothing compares. Totally awesome.
  • Yosemite National Park. Camped there for a week when I was a kid
  • Coliseum in Rome. Visited the same year I saw "Gladiator"
  • Macau. A very interesting, packed city. We have mission work there.
  • Market in Masaya, Nicaragua. The markets in Thailand and Honduras had a lot of cheap import stuff from China and elsewhere. The Masaya market was nearly all local stuff, and various other aspects of the place made it unique.
  • Wrigley Field. Been there just twice. I think the Cubs lost both times.
  • Passion Play in Oberamargau, Germany. In July 2000, and it snowed that morning. But a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
  • Barbados. Went there on our honeymoon, as part of a cruise. Best beach I've ever seen.
  • Chiang Mei, Thailand. Right on the border of Myanmar. Great shopping.
  • Niagara Falls. Hey, it's Niagara Falls.
  • Tombstone, Ariz. Love the old west. Went with my family as a kid, and with Pam in 2002.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
My posts stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense. But the continuing thread is serving God faithfully through the local church.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

To leave comments, I suggest using OpenID. You can use it not only here, but on tens of thousands of other sites.
With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
