CHICAGO!! A city I can add to the list for my Holiday Home Wish List.

We were both looking forward to visiting the Windy City! And neither of us were disappointed! The problem with travel blogging some of the places we've been I've discovered, is that there is just TOO MUCH to talk about to fit into one entry. For the Cliff Notes I have made a list of all …

“Everything is bigger in Texas” is not just a figure of speech.

So it's been 16 days since I last updated and I really should not let the gaps between posting get that big! I need to remember that two weeks on a holiday of a lifetime is equivalent to probably 6 months of events back home! This post will cover Denver, Colorado, Mesa Verde National Park …
