Some time last summer Joe and I went to New Orleans and although he’ll be insanely embarrassed that I’m telling this story – we went to “The Tea Room” and had a psychic reading.  (Joe is going to kill me when he reads this!).  I’m not going to recap all of the juicy details of what lies [...]

We just returned from a very long weekend in Washington, DC for the Vacation Rental Manager’s Association National Convention.  Amber had never been to DC and was looking forward to the monuments, sights and sounds – but of course she worked instead and never saw much more than a few restaurants, the inside of the [...]

Turkey legs.  You’ll see it is a recurring theme in any of our posts that include our travels to fairs, festivals or theme parks.  Food is always a large part of going to a gathering but beyond gobbling up the smoked poultry, my favorite is without a doubt – the funnel cakes.  One of these [...]

Maroon Bells, Colorado is one of the most beautiful, breathtaking places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.  Amber was still sleeping at our hotel in Snowmass, Colorado when I snuck out before dawn and headed to the wonderous peaks near Aspen.  The water was like glass and offered a flawless reflection of the majestic [...]

 Just 45 minutes outside of Houston, Texas you will find the charming bay town of Kemah, Texas.  Located 25 miles northeast of Galveston, Kemah has long been a spontaneous fishing excursion for locals.  Recently visiting with some family in the area, we ventured down to the Boardwalk for a relaxing lunch and activities for the [...]
