I finally got to check Colorado off my bucket list, and I’m going to call it – it’s a Top 5 for me. And that’s only after visiting the Denver area. As soon as we knew we were going to Denver, I started researching how to tour Red Rocks Amphitheater. One of the most famous …
When I was a kid, my mom would drive us from San Diego to Portland, Oregon every year. My dad rarely went…it was usually my mom, me, my brother, and my sister. God bless her for driving all that way with three little kids, because now that I’m a parent I realize how hard that …
The holiday season is upon us (already!), and I can’t be happier. I love this time of year. It’s the one time of year I want to attend all the events and go to all the places. Over the years we’ve attended so many Christmas and holiday events in Dallas – I thought I’d dedicate a …

If you live in the Dallas area, you have no doubt heard your friends talk about visiting Broken Bow, OK, if you haven’t visited yourself. It’s a very popular destination for a getaway from Dallas, and we’ve been hearing about it for year. We finally visited and I’m going to tell you everything a Broken …
The longer I live in Texas, the more I love it. And the longer I live here, the more I realize how truly little of Texas I have seen. I mean, Texas is huge, y’all. You know that. But when you actually get out and explore this ginormous state, you realize how much there is …
My love of the Texas Gulf Coast only continues to grow! Our most recent trip to the coast had us staying in Port Aransas, which is a town on the coast with not only a beautiful stretch of beach but also nice places to stay, fun things to do, and great places to eat. Today …
