My Travels

Hotel Tour: The aLoft Downtown in Dallas, Texas

August 24, 2010

A couple of weekends ago, my family and I visited Dallas for a Cowboys game and a Rangers game. We also have some friends that live down there that we don’t get to see too often. The Pioneer Woman always posts pictures of the various hotels and hotel rooms that she stays at and we [...]

Our Adventures in Northeastern Oklahoma and Kansas

August 22, 2010

View Larger Map This weekend I drove to visit my mom and to go to my grandma’s 80th birthday party. (I’ll have a post on that later) It’s a good six hour trip to my Mom’s house from here in the panhandle. It also just so happened that she found a Jeep that she was [...]

Memories to Last a Lifetime

August 15, 2010

The night started out a little on the hot and humid side. We had just gone to a Dallas Cowboys preseason game the night before, but it was slow like preseason football games often are. The Rangers game promised to be more exciting since they are actually doing great this year, especially compared to our [...]

A Texas Sized Stadium

August 14, 2010

You’ve likely heard that “Everything’s Bigger in Texas” and in many cases it is true. I think that it’s some people’s goal for everything they build to be huge monstrosities and it’s Cowboys Stadium is certainly that. We took a little road trip this weekend to Dallas to escape the walls that were closing in [...]

Viva Las Vegas

June 26, 2010

This is perhaps the fastest trip down the strip I’ve ever taken and was able to see and photograph all of the major Las Vegas casinos in just a few minutes.  It was also the first and last time my son will ever see Vegas (at least until he’s probably a teenager). We saw Treasure [...]

Under the Sea

June 11, 2010

If you’ve read my last two posts, then you know that we went on a cruise to the Bahamas. While in Coco Cay, we went snorkeling for the first time ever. I wish I had bought more than one underwater camera. I also wish I hadn’t bought the Walgreens brand. The following pictures were taken [...]

Royal Caribbean vs. Carnival

June 9, 2010

To any person booking a cruise, I think this is the great debate. Which cruise line should go with? Or is a cruise a cruise? After being on two Carnival cruises and a Royal Caribbean cruise, I can attest to the fact that a cruise is indeed a cruise. Or, at least it is when [...]

The Hottest Place on Earth, But Well Worth It

June 8, 2010

Over the weekend my husband and I took the first cruise we’ve been able to take since about 3 years ago when we had a horrible cruise ship Internet experience. It took us 15 minutes to send an email back then – no lie. So, needless to say and you already know how important our [...]

May is Gone, Here Comes the Bahamas!

June 1, 2010

I’ve been a bit behind on blogging here lately. There’s photo contests to post to over at Photosuwant.com and there’s my weekly recipes I’ve been trying to post, but I’ve just been so darn busy. I’m really not sure where the month of May even went. This has been like the most dysfunctional month so [...]

La Jolla and Coronado

May 1, 2010

Today we hit the beaches. It was too cold to swim, although some people in La Jolla didn’t think so. Oh La Jolla. La Jolla is gorgeous. I want to move there. Too bad you have to be a multi-millionaire, but I can definitely see why real estate is so high there. The views are [...]
