Munich Round II

Maybe you remember that I was in Munich for Oktoberfest. Well, I got to go back and spend a little more time in the beautiful city. Of course, I made my way to the original Hofbrauhaus. It dates back to the 16th century and smelled a bit of barf, understandably so. There are plenty of…

A Guide to Rotterdam, A Hidden Gem In The Netherlands

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most popular travel destinations. You can see why in my previous posts about the beautiful city (here, here, and here). What most people don’t know is that there is a beautiful place in South Holland, only 40 minutes away from Amsterdam by train, that has much to offer as well.…

Most of the time I even consider making this alteration to a picture, it’s…

sky high in sky hi sneakers

Whew! That was my first helicopter ride. It was so fun and a little scary. But once you see the really great views, you forget all about your nerves. We flew straight into downtown Chicago, in between iconic buildings like The Hancock Building, Trump Tower, and the Willis Tower. The second we landed, I was…

So I just got back from spending the weekend in Nashville. It’s a lovely place, but I’m not so sure I belong there. It’s the land of country music and cowboy boots. It seems that I should fit right in, being from Texas and all, but I can’t say that I do. Any place that has…
