9/11 Memorial NYC

My daughter read Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes, so when I told her we would be going to New York, she immediately asked to go to the 9/11 Memorial. After leaving Battery Park, we walked along the pier to the memorial, which was a quiet, 10-minute walk. My...

Family Fun at Atlantis

If you are traveling with children, rest assured that there is PLENTY for them to do at Atlantis. I did not take a picture of every swimming pool because there were just too many. The kids have their own play area, so my kids fell in love with this area. I was able to...

Miraval Resort & Spa, Part I

The hubster and I decided to get away and leave reality behind.  We did just that by going to Miraval Resort & Spa. I have heard so many wonderful things about this resort, so I always wondered, "What's the big deal?" Oprah and Gayle went on a retreat here,...

Quarter View Restaurant

My family and I just got back from New Orleans and Mississippi.  I thank God for family and friends who make life so sweet even in the midst of hardship.  I especially enjoyed this trip because of the good food and the good times.  I was rather nervous...
