Some of the best trips are ones you don’t pay for… and more often than not, they have to do with work. I was in Dallas last week for “training” and actually really enjoyed myself. While I have so many friends and family in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I wasn’t able to get away to…

i’m coming home to aggieland.
Not all great trips have to begin on a plane– nor do you need to spend the night in a faraway place. This weekend, I strong-armed the boys into going to the Texas A&M vs. OSU football came in College Station. Yes, I actually had to CONVINCE them to go… wtf?? We bought our tickets on…
we’re hopping the pond.
It’s disturbing to say, but I’ve never been to Europe. I really don’t like to admit that. Since I think of myself as a sort of travel aficionado, I realize that statement alone is absurd.

10 on tuesday– vegas edition.
I’m back to posting– just haven’t really felt inspired lately. In honor of our upcoming Vegas trip, I wanted to do a 10 on Tuesday for all the must see things in Vegas. So here we go! As always, in no particular order… 10.) Visit the new City Center. From hotels like Vdara, Aria, Cosmopolitan…

a taste of the valley.
Don’t get me wrong, clearly I love the wine. But half the fun in Napa Valley is the beyond amazing food. In fact, I have been craving it all since we got back. I’ve always known that Texas (particularly Houston) wasn’t all that into healthy eating. That fact resonerated in California, where every place we visited…
party in the garden.
I know, I sound like a broken record. I’m kind of like my hubby– I find something I like and then harp on it. While in Napa, we ALWAYS stop at our fave Round Pond. Even better, over Labor Day weekend, they have their famous Round Pond Garden Party. If you have never been to…
wolverine bit the bullet.
You’re bound to run into some crap everywhere. Such was the case on our trip to Napa and Sonoma this past weekend. In case you missed it, check out my post yesterday on my favorite experiences while we were there. So today is the crap edition and first on the list: Tasting Bars and Wastes…
