    Ocean, Lake, Or Swimming Pool?

    May 15, 2016 /

    Which would you rather spend time in…the ocean, a lake, or a swimming pool? Those of you who know me, already know my answer.  It’s hands down…THE OCEAN! This was just after a quick dip in the beautiful crystal clear blue water in Grand Cayman. The only problem is…living in Colorado, we are much more likely to be in a lake, pool, or even a river.  However,  honestly, I save most of my water time for the ocean. I snorkel in it. I stand in it. I walk in it. I swim with stingrays in it. And I just sit in it! I have some beachy plans for this summer, so stay tuned! What about…

    Six Things You Should Know BEFORE You Drive To Colorado For A Ski Trip!

    January 18, 2016 /

    Snow skiing in Colorado!  It’s the perfect winter getaway.  However, those of you coming from warmer climates, might want a few tips. We live in southern Colorado, just north of the Oklahoma state line.  AND, I’m a bit of an expert when it comes to advising southern tourists traveling by car into our winter wonderland state.  As most of you know, my family owns the local NAPA Store, and you can find me there, pretty much all the time. Here are a few tips and tricks when you are travelling to Colorado during the winter months. Windshield Washer Fluid:  Make sure you have it!  If you are travelling from a…

    Grand Cayman….The Perfect Vacation

    September 2, 2015 /

    So….I really thought I would get this post up right after our trip to Grand Cayman.  But, that was like….uhhh….two months ago.  Sheesh, where does the time go? We stayed at the Westin Grand Cayman on the famous Seven Mile Beach.  And let me tell ya,  it was the best decision ever!  The hotel, the staff, the bed, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the BEACH, were all perfect.  Actually, it was better than perfect.  Is that possible?   The lobby is beautiful and  beachy.   And I ran screaming through these doors dragging my luggage behind me…just look at that water! Yes, I made a teeny tiny scene, but my husband got…

    Good Fences….Caribbean Style!

    July 16, 2015 /

    I’m trying to regularly participate in Good Fences link party with my friends over at The Run*A*Round Ranch.  It’s every Thursday, so here ya go… I sure wish I had been thinking more about this link party while I was in Grand Cayman.  I did, however, manage to get a few fences in some shots. These shots were all taken at Rum Point on Grand Cayman.  You can see in the background…blue and green little picket fences.  Caribbean colors are sooo groovy. I took a little walk while we were waiting on the catamaran to pick us up.  This was one street over from the beach.  Wish I would have taken more pictures of…

    Remember all those times when I would try to explain my absence by posting that my husband swept me away to a tropical island in the Caribbean? Well this time, it’s actually TRUE! I’m still doing laundry and cleaning the sand out of my bags, AND going through pictures, but here is a little teaser for you….I promise to be back soon with more. Ohhhh, there’s more….but it will have to wait!
