What TheWeb-Reviewer.com says about TripVine:
Laurie Borman in Chicago brings the magic of ice sculpture at ‘Winter on the Green’, or the goings-on at ‘WinterFest’ in Ingleside.
These are great insights into the otherwise unknown, and the unexpected. Travel blogs are here, there and everywhere, but Tripvine has an edge.
