One of the things that Sandra really wanted to see in San Francisco was the Painted Ladies which is a term for Victorian houses painted in three or more colors to embellish their architectural features.

Finally we made it to the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's much more impressive up close. What we didn't know until we got there was that you can walk across the bridge and the pedestrian walkways are

One of the most surprising finds that we had in San Francisco was the Palace of Fine Arts, and we spotted it because of the massive lagoon that makes the building that much more incredible. This is one

I am loving watching this housing market in Orlando fall! I know it is sad for those folks that paid way too much and now they can't sell. But for the ones where we offered and they refused - I have

Our friends Lisa and Zach welcomed their baby girl Morgan Elizabeth on July 8th. Since we were out west, we missed visiting them in the hospital. But we stopped by the other day and it was nice since

Sorry for the delay on the posts about our trip out west. I have started working on them but I don't want it to become the same situation as our Alaska trip where it's been a year and I am still working

Since we have done a ton of hiking out west lately, we decided to try a local hike we have never done before. So today we went to check out the Tibet Butler Preserve. I didn't bring my camera, but we

It's been around 3500 miles, and three solid weeks of exploration of the Southwestern United States beginning and ending in Denver. We camped, climbed, hiked, drove, boated, sledded, then climbed and

Yeah, so my birthday was in January. I posted about how it was the best birthday ever and I finally posted about my Jimmy Choo Ciggy clutch, but here are the cake, brownies and flower photos! My amazing

We planted a baby Oak we found growing in our front yard a few years ago - and it is now about 10-12 feet tall. I had my first bird's nest in it this year - a family of Mockingbirds. Look at that

We rarely go to weddings as guests, but we did at Kiersten and Jed's and it was fun! I still brought my cameras, but I wore a dress and heels and everything! I took this photo of Chris looking handsome
