The historic Lincoln Highway was the first automobile road across the United States and the first national memorial to President Abraham Lincoln, predating Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Memorial dedicated in 1922.…
I recently had the privilege of attending a TravelingMom.com retreat at Walt Disney World, an annual gathering of some of the best moms in the world (in my opinion). A…
Less than an hour from Wellington in the rural tranquility of Te Horo is an opportunity to test your culinary skills at the Ruth Pretty Cooking School. More than that, it’s an opportunity to relax and enjoy New Zealand cuisine like a V.I.P. with one of the country’s best-loved chefs.
All aboard for the Ford Experience Tour at the Denver Snow Show for previews of 2013 Ford models.
Rekindling romance with your spouse or significant other is an ongoing process, from your first date to a 50 year marriage. It was a simple act. Really. I didn’t plan to offer this token act of love, a simple task of presenting my hubby with a heaping plate during our family’s recent Thanksgiving feast. An act that had all the men –in-laws from ages 20-73 — stepping back and telling me what an amazing thing I’d just done.
The guys didn’t have to say another word as my hubby grinned from ear-to-ear when I handed him the plate. It made him feel good, and that made me feel good too.
A few years ago, I embarked on a once in a lifetime journey to Israel, the Holy Land. Growing up in the Bible Belt of Iowa, the legendary “land of milk and honey” was discussed often as a faraway land, where none of my family, mere farmers, blue collar workers and “gasp” Iowans would ever get the opportunity to visit. But here I am looking forward to a visit to Galilee, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Negev desert, and Dead Sea. I’m even going to throw in a camel safari and some other such adventures.
Most travelers put New Zealand on their bucket list, and I’m no different. There’s so much to see and do — from ancient Kauri forests, rugged coastlines and the traditions of the Maori on your Travels to New Zealand.
Just over a year ago, I visited the Guanacaste side of Costa Rica, my 2nd visit to the country, for the Grand Opening of the Riu Guanacaste. That trip was a whirlwind of adventures ranging from wildlife viewing to relaxing at the Riu’s always amazing pool — and so many dancers!
Please welcome my 10 year-old niece Journey (yes—that’s her real name!) as a guest blogger this week. She recently traveled with me to Orlando for a series of firsts. Since…
Baby blue cotton candy, corn dogs swirled in mustard, fresh popped popcorn, twirling merry-go-rounds, chatter of carnies, cheers of crowds during demolition derby. Smell of 4H livestock – which I call the “smell of money.” Summer is the best time to enjoy these festivals all across the country, including my own Colorado backyard at the family friendly Golden Buffalo Bill’s Days.
Colorado is all about the outdoors. Pick a season, any season, and you’ll find plenty to do including some amazing motorcycle road trips. Telluride was in for a treat, when two of my best (and hottest!) biker mamas agreed to join me and two of our men for a road trip from Denver to southwest Colorado.
