Sidney, B.C. Pier on Vancouver Island

Ocean views, fresh seafood, and some great photo-ops highlighted several of my visits to the pier in Sidney, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. Not unlike a lot of other piers, this was a popular fishing spot and a great place to see what people had been catching.

Elvis Presley Birthplace in Tupelo, Mississippi

Not to be outdone by Graceland or Sun Studio in Memphis, the childhood of Elvis Presley is chronicled at his birthplace in Tupelo, Mississippi. Complete with the home Elvis was born in, the family car, and the church Elvis acquired his love of gospel music in, the site (and Tupelo in general) does a nice job of paying tribute to where this legendary story began.
