We were passing through Dallas on our way to Enchanted Rock but decided to stop in a see my cousin.  He lived nearby and worked in downtown Dallas.  We went to a restaurant for lunch but I don't remember which one it was - all I remember was discussing the new "Killers" album.  After…

It started innocently enough; I visited Juneau, Alaska in June 1993 and explored the State Capitol building. A few months later, It was Montgomery, Alabama's. In the course of time, it became a hobby. Near the end it became a bit of an obsession. Then, in August of 2006, I visited my 50th US State Capitol building in Pierre, SD. (Yeh!) Yes, I know, I'm a geography nerd.... All entries are maintained in on the 'first visit' date.

After leaving San Antonio at 4:30 we stopped in Austin for a short time.  We were trying to find something that we could do realitivly quickly in Austin.  We decided that we would like to see the view of Austin from the top of Mount Bonnell.  We made the climb to the talk of Mount Bo…

Vandaag ging ik weer eerder op dan de rest, dit is de laatste keer volgens mijn moeder omdat ze er telkens wakker van word. Ik ging met mijn laptop buiten lekker even internetten enzo. Toen ik dacht dat de rest ook wakker was ging ik weer naar boven. Ze waren nog aan het slapen! Dus ging ik weer ve…

Took a last minute trip to Austin. Working for an airline allows me to travel anywhere, whenever. He got a trip to Austin, so I went with him. We got in about five in the evening. Nothing too exicting. Just walked around and had a nice dinner. We crashed out early since we had to get up at 4am. Cant wait to go back and spend more time in Austin. I miss Texas!

Texas Motor Speedway (April 2007) Nothing like staying in the infield for a NASCAR race! Lots of "characters" and plenty of partying. Don;t go there if you are looking to sleep!

Our family and two others decided to go on a three day camping trip to nearby Inks Lake.  It's one of Texas most beautiful state parks.  As you can see by the pictures we had a good time. You'll notice it was the young people jumping off the big rocks at Devil's Cove.  Be careful if…

The intention was to hike the Chisos but we ended up doing backcountry desert instead. Grrr. I'll get back there some day. Some logistical issues prevented us from actually hiking into the mountains and seeing the magnificent views. A bit of 411: the Chisos is the only mountain range to be containe…

This was the first time I drove on the beach in my jeep.  I mean the beach was sooo big,  I had no idea.  I suppose that is how young and inexperienced I was even though I was driving a jeep and loved getting into all kinds of precarious situations.  My mother came to visit me i…

During this weekend, I was scheduled to perform at this church location for a wedding of a former co-worker when I used to work at Dillard's.I'm not a regular church-goer, but I was pleased to have been apart of this occassion at this beautiful location in the central Laredo area.  I haven't h…

My husband and I attended the Austin City Limits Festival this past year and we had a blast. Bands from all over come and perform over a three day period. Plenty of food, drinks and music to enjoy. There was plenty of room to walk around and everyone behaved themselves. :-) We didn't bring our own chairs and so we had to sit on the ground. Next time we will defenitely bring some portable chairs that way we can kick back and relax and enjoy the bands.

We took my brother to Houston and Galveston as a part of his high school graduation gift.

Upon our arrival to New Mexico we had the nicest surprise, we were staying at the Radisson at the Airport in El Paso. It was the Shit!!! The indoor, outdoor pool, rooms were big and spacious and the one free drink per person at the bar/restaurant. Many of us did get in some trouble, the rowdy Natio…

I think Galveston is a very good looking city in the Texan gulf coast... unfortunately they have not recovered yet from last year's hurricane :(
