Not everyone who tours the Colorado State Capital building is given a PRIVATE tour…but we have “friends in high places”…MILE HIGH places, that is! Hubby’s sister Patricia is an official tour guide at the capital… So she pulled out her official badge to give us inside access, and she gave us […]
The Light Rail To Union Station – Downtown Denver, Colorado
Hubby’s Sis Patricia treated us to a day in downtown Denver, and our method of transportation was as smooth as silk. We simply drove to a nearby parking lot where we left her car, and we boarded the Light Rail RTD. Train tickets are purchased from a vending machine next to the […]
Fremont Street – Las Vegas, Nevada
You never know WHAT you’ll see on Fremont Street in Vegas…and most of the sights are NOT rated PG…But here are a few glimpses of some of the entertainment. The overhead light show is great, and there is air conditioning directed down to the street. And since the desert sun was brutal and the […]
Bellagio Fountains – Las Vegas, Nevada
One evening we decided to jump on an Express bus and make the 30-45 minute trip from downtown Vegas out to the Strip to see the dancing water display at the Bellagio Hotel. It was a Saturday night…and in hindsight we should have picked a different night, since we figured Saturday is probably the craziest […]
Art Deco Signs – Las Vegas, Nevada
I LOVE old Art Deco signs…and a stroll around downtown Las Vegas is like stepping back in time. So join me for a quick tour… I LOVE this old Cowboy!!! (I remember him from the 1950’s!) I wanted to get this photo without the ambulance…But since it was sitting outside the restaurant called The […]
Mormon Temple Tour – Indianapolis, Indiana
For several years, we have watched a HUGE building under construction in Indianapolis. It’s a new temple of the Church of Latter Day Saints, also known as Mormon. So when our son told me that the building would be open for public tours during our current visit, he asked if he should sign my up […]
Downtown Sycamore – Sycamore, Illinois
What a beautiful ‘Back to the Future” town… Sunset…Midwest Style… Apparently the bar across the street is a Biker’s paradise… It got too chilly on our rooftop perch so we moved downstairs and split a delicious burger and […]
Iowa City Farmer’s Market – Iowa City, Iowa
What better way to spend an hour on the 4th of July than strolling through our local Iowa City Farmer’s Market? So come along with me and see how our Saturday mornings in Iowa City look…and taste! Got Salad? Fresh Is Best! Kale yes! I can see better already! Antler Ridge Elk Ranch Chris and […]
Gazebo Concert Series – Carmel, Indiana
It must be an Indiana thing. Tonight Nana and Papa invited us to attend to an outdoor concert at the Gazebo in Carmel… and we were told it would be a “Pitch-In”. Turns out that means a “Pot Luck” to those of us from Iowa. And we were asked to bring HOT DOGS! It […]
Iowa Arts Festival – Iowa City, Iowa
As most of you know…I ALWAYS have my phone ready to snap pictures wherever we are…But last Saturday night was a sad exception to that rule. We jumped in a cab to head to downtown Iowa City and we were already several blocks from our house when I realized I had forgotten my phone! And […]
