I love weekend getaways. For us, they typically only require a two-hour drive to a nearby destination. Lucky for me, Victoria, TX, located in what is called the Crossroads, means one can drive two hours in almost any direction and land in a major city. Our most favorite weekend getaway […]
After a couple of days in Colorado Springs, we decided to take a short drive to Manitou Springs. Manitou Springs is a “vibrant” artisan community, with well-known artists and their galleries, lively pubs, restaurants, theaters, arcades museum, lots of hiking trails, as well as creative street arts on display. This […]
Nestled at the base of the Pikes Peak region in Colorado Springs, is the home of the United States Air Force Academy. The Academy is one of the largest tourist attractions in Colorado and well worth the visit as it holds over 60 years of history of our nation’s military […]
We had a fun day at 43rd Annual Territory Days in Colorado Springs which took place in the historic Old Colorado City location, west side of Colorado Springs. With over 150 food and craft booths, live music, a kids play area and Wild West gunfight reenactments, you will surely find […]

London offers some of the best open markets to shop for antiques, gourmet foods, trinkets, arts and just about anything on your list. What I love about London markets is that you can find one in every suburb of London, so no matter where you are you can find a […]

Typically our travels involve a plane ride to a faraway place but this summer we decided to find a destination we could drive to and have some quality time together. Because we live on the coast of Texas, we thought it might be fun to do a coastal drive eastward […]
As any family, we are excited that our son is graduating from the United States Airforce Academy. Attending this graduation is a real honor as we know that it isn’t an easy feat to complete four years of academics as well as military training. To show our support and appreciation […]
