A Romantic Getaway

For our anniversary, my husband planned a romantic getaway to the Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain and we had a blast!  Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Ritz-Carlton.  They offer the best service, and although I know there are other hotels that have...

Loving Los Angeles, Part I

My husband and I love to get away at least every 3-4 months.  This month, we flew to Los Angeles and had a blast. Great eating and great times were nonstop during this trip.  I think it is always important to take time to spend with the ones...

The Lion King on Broadway

I have long awaited the opportunity to see The Lion King at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway. I had been told about the beautiful costumes, the choreography, singing, and overall atmosphere during this show. As the show begins, singers enter down the aisles. There...

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...

Louisiana Lagniappe Destin

Fantastic Fudge at Fernandina Beach

During our tour with Mr. Ron Miller of Coast One Tours, we asked for a great place to get ice-cream. My kids wanted ice-cream, so he recommended Fantastic Fudge, which received approval from the entire family. At Fantastic Fudge, they make the fudge in house, and they...

Lovin’ New Orleans

We always visit New Orleans during the holidays.  I love this city.  Many people think of partying when they think of New Orleans, but New Orleans has so much more to offer --- meeting wonderful people, eating delicious Cajun cuisine, shopping, art, and...

San Diego

I spent some quality time in San Diego with my family, and we had a blast hanging out together.  Although this was the first Mother's Day without my beautiful mom, it wasn't a sad day at all.  I just thanked God for the family He has given me, cherished...
