Saving money is a reason for happiness in my book. And the Happy Hour menu at The Chart House made me happy in Las Vegas. It’s located in the Golden Nugget Hotel downtown on Fremont Street. We’re very familiar with the Happy Hour menu at the Chart House franchise. We used to have one several […]
Cheap Eats In Vegas? The Market Street Cafe Breakfast Buffet
Cheap eats used to be the norm in Las Vegas. Heck, you could find a beatiful shrimp cocktail for a buck! But those days are long gone. Now it takes a real detective to find good food at a reasonable price. But if you’re staying in downtown Las Vegas, I have a suggestion for you. […]
All That Glitters Is NOT The Golden Nugget In Las Vegas
Let’s set the record straight. Peepaw and I are NOT gamblers. (I spent a grand total of five bucks during our Vegas stay…and I came away with $7.03 so I am a WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!) The only reason we ended up in Las Vegas for three nights of our trip was to SAVE some […]
Trains, Planes, And Automobiles – Union Station, Denver
Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. Our MeemawHeadsWest2018 Road Trip has them all. And Union Station in downtown Denver was the perfect place to add that train portion to the equation. Peepaw was the planner for this itinerary, and it’s a pretty complicated one. I was happy to give that job to him since I spent years as a […]
Elvis Fans? Don’t Miss Nick’s Cafe – Lakewood Colorado
Trust me. Elvis is alive and well in Lakewood Colorado. When we were in the Denver area I asked my trusty smartphone GPS (I call her Stella) to guide us to a good breakfast spot nearby. She sent us to Nick’s Cafe. And little did I know we were walking into an Elvis shrine. But […]
Ambrusci’s Fire And Wine Restaurant – Lakewood, Colorado
Ambrusci’s Fire & Wine Restaurant in Lakewood Colorado is fairly new, and it’s only blocks away from Peepaw’s sister’s home. But before we headed out for dinner we were greeted with a beautiful lunch! As you already know…family and food go hand in hand for us. And when we arrived at Patricia and Robert’s home we […]
Citta’ Deli Tiramisu- A Taste of Italy In McCook Nebraska
When we pulled into McCook Nebraska I had no idea I would end up in Italy for dessert. But that’s exactly what happened when we strolled by Citta’ Deli. And I had no clue that I was about to sample the best tiramisu I had ever tasted. You see, small town America is filled with […]
The Chief Motel and Mexican Munchies – McCook, Nebraska
As we continued our “Meemaw Heads West 2018” Road Trip we picked McCook Nebraska (population 7,698 in 2010) as our overnight stop on our way to Denver. You see, we got off the freeway and took an amazing “road less traveled” route this time. That route turned out to be an awesome choice. What’s not […]
Honey Creek Restaurant – Our Lunch In Waverly, Nebraska
Our Western adventure began in sunshine in Iowa, but by the time we stopped for lunch Mother Nature was sending some much-needed raindrops down onto the corn and bean fields in Nebraska. In fact the outside temperature dropped from the 80’s in Iowa to 63 degrees, thanks to that rain! And we were ready to […]
Only Carry On Luggage…For A Three Week Trip!
A carry on bag and a personal item are the only pieces of luggage I’m planning to take on our three week trip out West. Yes…you read that right. Trust me when I say I usually overpack for our trips. Just look at this photo of the back seat of our car when we head […]
