The Landing

My husband and I decided to take a short trip to Eastern Iowa.  It was so pretty.  We stayed where my aunt and uncle had taken my folks a couple of years ago.  It was a nice time!

Jamaica

Recently our daughter and her husband traveled to Jamaica! What fun for them. We also had a lot of fun while they were gone. We got to take care of Kaelyn and Kaden, their children. :) What a blessing. It was such a fun week! We would do it all over again. I'm glad the kids could get away and relax also.

Travel Deals

I enjoy so much taking a vacation now and again. It's fun to see the sites and just get away from life as I know it. I love to surf the net looking for great travel deals. A co-worker of mine enjoys traveling as much as I do. They are scheduled to go to Cancun four times this year alone. I'm hoping to get away soon.

Las Vegas

Last month we took a trip out to Las Vegas. We saw and did a variety of things. We spent a couple of nights walking up and down the strip seeing all of the lights, water shows, The Sirens of TI and the Mirage Volcano. We also took in the Fremont Street Experience, the Pawn Star shop, "O" Cirque Du Soleil show, shopping and wonderful eating. It was a great week!

Shopping

Recently we did a little Christmas shopping. Actually it was about two days worth of shopping. We got a lot accomplished in those two days, believe me. In between stores we got to eat some of our favorite foods. We ate at P.F. Changs for lunch on one day and Hickory Park the next. It was awesome! Funny how we enjoy our food so much! :) The motel we stayed at was wonderful also! It was a Drury Inn. They now serve a night time snack (more of a meal) and breakfast all for the cost of a stay. Very nice!!

Las Vegas!

We just got home from Las Vegas! We had a great week! There wasn't a cloud in the sky all week. The temps ranged from 88 degrees to 104. It sure felt warm. We enjoyed taking in the sites and checking out the mountains that surround that city. It is so different then what we see at home. It was very dry and breezy. A person didn't see much for grass. Many yards are just sand. The big casinos have there share of trees, bushes and green grass. I don't know how they keep it looking so good. Lots of water! :)

California!

Over ten years ago already, my family traveled out to California and met up with other members of my extended family. My mom and dad were there and also my sister and her family. We had such an awesome time and have such neat memories from the vacation. It would be fun to do that again sometime!

Rupert Gee

What an exciting trip we had to NYC recently! Renee and I had our picture taken with Rupert Gee from the Letterman Show. He runs the Hello Deli around the corner from the show. If you watch Letterman I'm sure you will recognize him from there. He was busy talking with a customer at the time. I'm sure he gets a lot of that.

Branson Vacation Package

Our youngest son has some vacation time coming and thought it would be fun for all of us to take a trip together. We did that last summer and had such a great time! I had begun looking into a Branson vacation package and also other destinations. He is unsure that is where he would like to go. We are from the mid west and were also thinking about the coast. Branson can be a fun place to visit however. We actually went there on our honeymoon many years ago.

Myrtle Beach Condo Rentals

About four or five years ago we took a trip down to Myrtle Beach with our daughter and her then "new" husband. We had a wonderful time. I wouldn't mind looking into the myrtle beach condo rentals. It's a beautiful location with a lot to do. My husband and son-in-law sure enjoyed the golfing down there. My daughter and I enjoyed shopping and laying on the beach. It's a great place!

It's getting to be that time of year when my husband and I start to think about traveling. We enjoy getting away some in the winter months. The cold and snow get old. You can find some great deals on line such as las vegas packages. We have visited there one time and would like to go back again. It sounds warm and inviting.

Cancun Mexico

I so look forward to travel. It's exciting to plan and get away. A few years ago we flew down to cancun mexico. We went with a fairly large group of people. We had a great time! What beautiful beaches they have. We traveled during the winter months so the warm weather was welcomed. We may just have to plan another visit sometime.

Through out the years a highlight in my family’s lives has been to take a vacation, get away and make awesome memories. We have been pretty good about doing just that.

Momma and Babies

While on vacation a week or so ago we found a neat site. We were waiting to be picked up at our hotel when we noticed a little family up in a tree near by. It was a momma dove and her two little baby birds. It was so cute. They were all three just staring at us as we looked on. It was a perfect picture moment.
